Is my silicone implant crooked? Is filler in the nostril rim an option? Is a revision rhinoplasty the only way to fix?

Asked By:paintarainbow in Vancouver, BC

I am 4 years post Asian rhinoplasty using silicone implant to augment the bridge. I am bothered by the slanted appearance of the implant between the eyes (closer to my right eye). Comparing my present photo with the 1 month post-op photo, it seems the implant was always crooked rather than shifting over time. The amount of nostril show also bothers me. Is strategically placed filler in the nostril rim an option? Is my implant truly crooked and is a revision rhinoplasty the only way to fix?
