Asked By:mulholc in United Kingdom, GB

My revision rhinoplasty took place Dec 2015. The cast wasn't secured properly and when removed my nose wasn't straight and a few months later a scar appeared. On 3 occasions steroids were injected by my surgeon. I then left it for a year to see if it settled then went back in Jan 2016 where steroids were injected. A month ago a fat transfer was done under the scarand I am left now with a raised hole which is yet to fully heal. Obviously losing confidence should I seek a second opinion?
