I had a rhinoplasty in 2021 to shave down a large bump as I had a very ethnic nose. Post surgery I noticed that there was a dip in the left side of my nose and bone that was still large or gave a bump look, as well as a curved appearance to the left. In 2023, I went back in for a “revision rhinoplasty” in which the bumps were further shaved down and a crushed cartilage graft was placed in the dip of the left side. I am now 2 years post op and have noticed that the curvature has not gone away from both the bridge and tip of my nose. I went into my plastic surgery office to see what my options were and my doctor suggested an in office procedure where he would shave the right side of my nose as he believes that is what is given the curved/crooked look. Should I move forward with the in office procedure or look to another doing another revision operation? I am very unsure of what to do in this situation as I never anticipated that 4 years after my initial procedure, I would still be dealing with the appearance of my nose. What are your recommendations?
