I've had 3 surgeries in the past 4 years. My third surgery was a revision by a new surgeon, and the surgery did get rid of a lot of scar tissue and made the tip of my nose so much better, but my nostrils keep getting worse and it's been a year and a half since the last surgery. I was wondering if non-surgical fillers could fix my retracting/crooked nostrils or should I just leave it? I've had pretty bad scarring in the tip from the first two surgeries, so I wouldn't want to make things worse.
