A previous surgery to correct my deviated Septum left with me with a crooked nose, crooked nostrils and a rounded bulbous beak-like appearance. I've been so miserable. I always so self conscious about it and have been so nervous to have the surgery done. It's my face and it's already been messed up. I so regret getting the original rhinoplasty done. Now I can't even breathe and sing. I sure hope this revision works. I'll keep this updated with pics.

Did your nostrils got bad or worse over time?

worse over time. I don't know why but they didn't look like that at first. He doctor said it looked like I had an abundance of scar tissue which tightened and pulled my nose to the side

Did your nose look like this right after your primary rhinoplasty or did it get bad with time?

No it didn't look like this right away. It seems I had a build up of scar tissue which pulled it. It was never total straight but not this crooked. Which makes sense now because my current doctor is having me keep the cast on for even longer than normal (as long as it will stay actually) and he said it's because the last time I had SO much scar tissue on that side and the cast will keep the skin pressed tight and less likely to start building it. Now... For my last surgery I remember the cast fell off 3 days after the surgery and I called the doc and he said it was fine. Obviously it wasn't. This is my 3rd surgery. I made the mistake going for the 2nd with a regular doctor and not someone who knows and does revisions all the time. I am hoping the research paid off this time.

Here you can see the underside angles of my nostrils and well as the asymmetry of my nose.

Surgery day

Here is a pic of when I just got home. I had to be at the hospital at 6am and then I was home in Rhode Island by 3:45pm the same day. I'm a little nervous that the cast sits on my face a little crooked. But when I lift up the moist she bandage, my nose looks straight. I'll be very excited if things turn out. It's GOT to better then what it was before right?
