Post Revision rhinoplasty, nose is same if not worse. Can the nose asymmetry be fixed? (Photos)

Question

I had my revision rhinoplasty 6 months ago, mainly due to fixing my front profile ( issues mainly symmetry and shape) and also wanted to improve my side. I have ended up with symmetry which is worse and just so much unevenness, I also now have this cartilage that pokes out above my nostril. I made a morph, I want to know if this is possible and what issues I have now?

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a revision rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Fascial grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. This can also be designed to improve the tip symmetry.   With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

yes it is possible. You will likely need to travel to find someone who does a lot of revision rhinoplasty . This would probably take about 90 minutes in our office.
