Yes — a nose that's become deviated or crooked following a previous rhinoplasty can generally be straightened through revision surgery, though this is one of the more technically demanding scenarios in nose revision, since Dr. Kim has to work with cartilage and bone that have already been altered once.
Correction typically starts with identifying whether the deviation stems from the septum, the bony framework, asymmetric scar tissue, or some combination of the three — since each requires a different correction approach. Dr. Kim then rebuilds the nasal structure symmetrically around a corrected centerline, similar to how a deviated nose is addressed in primary surgery, but with the added complexity of working around scar tissue and reduced cartilage availability.
Consultation Tip
Bring photos from multiple angles, including straight-on shots, so Dr. Kim can clearly assess the degree and direction of the deviation before your in-person 3D CT evaluation.
