Rhinoplasty to Even out Nostrils Did Not Work

My nose is very uneven and I wanted to make my nose symmetrical. I underwent a procedure described to me as a "tip rhinoplasty". In a word my results suck. My nose is still very uneven and I don't know what to do about it.

What needs to be done to make my nostrils symmetrical? When looking at me from the front, my right nostril sags lower than the left. When I lift my head back the right nostril is sunken into my head lower than the left.

i am no doctor, but i feel so bad for u, oh my goodness. i wonder if ur doctor took advantage of u, or if he was just being honest. maybe he knew he did not have the craft to do what u requested. but if that were the case, he should have not done any surgery at all. did u have consultations with other surgeons that said they would be able to do what u requested? and if so, did u not pick them because of the cost? sometimes, u get what u pay for, u no? but if u decide to try again, maybe the next surgeon will give u a substantial discount due to sympathy of what u just went through. my surgeon did that for me, he gave me a revision price- a $1500 discount (paying $3057 total instead of $4557) because i told him my story of another surgeon that messed me up. its worth a try. oh and get a free consultation surgeon, i hate the ones that charge for conversation, ugh...

The thing I hate is that you can't even take these [RS bleep] to court.

oh my goodness ralph, that is so true! its like that with all types of surgery, if u dont sign that waver, they wont even operate on u. and half the time, they no ur so desperate to get the surgery, u dont even realize ur signing ur rights away when u do the paperwork. jeremy, in the meantime i wud rate this doctor of urs online wherever he is able to be rated and be sure to be thorough about ur overall experience with him. they dont ask for ur name or anything. maybe u can help others avoid him. rated my obgyn doctor because wut he did to me. its not right that they get away with this. my mistake is not doing my research on him beforehand, because after the damage had already bin done, i looked up his ratings, and it was then that i found out his overall rating on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, was a 1.7 with nothing but horror stories, from misdiagnosis to near death experiences. had i did my research, i probably wudve not had to have had cosmetic surgery at all to begin with...

Wow that is really awful. I'm sure another doctor who is experienced and is rated well can help fix that. I was reading about how they can take cartlidge and suspend the right side to get it to even out. I had a full rhinoplasty/septoplasty 1.5 yrs ago and now my nostrils are uneven too. Not quite as pronounced as yours but I'm upset and not quite sure what to do about it. I've since moved out of state so its not really an option to have the same Dr fix it - not sure I want him operating on me again anyhow.
