I had a rhinoplasty several years ago and was left with a hanging columella. I was unhappy being able to see so much nostril from the side so I got a revision surgery. Since getting the revision, my septum has slowly shifted more and more towards where it was before the surgery and additionally my septum is very crooked now I can’t easily breath out of my left nostril anymore. I regret ever getting rhinoplasty and just wish I had my original nose back. Is there anything I can do??
