Nasal tip re-correction depends on prior Rhinoplasty

The key element of this discussion depends on the type of surgery you had performed during your rhinoplasty. There are many dedicated and expert rhinoplasty surgeons in Armenia and the type of surgery performed will determine the most common reasons for your postoperative nasal tip deviation.

If you had septal reset or a significantly deviated septum preoperatively, you may have experienced a condition known as septal memory or septal rebound, where the deviated septum resumes its preoperative deviation and contour after surgery.

If a graft was placed onto the nasal tip, the graft may have migrated.

If the nasal dome was manipulated, there is a small chance that the nasal tip may have succumbed to normal scarring to cause mild unilateral deviation.

In any case, experienced nasal surgeons, especially those in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, wait about one year before undertaking revisional work.

Hi Jen,

Without examining your nose, seeing photographs, and knowing what your surgeon did to the tip of your nose, it is very difficult to answer your question accurately. You should revisit your surgeon for examination and explanation. You need to wait at least 6 to 12 months before having a revision surgery. Good luck and be well.

It is possible for a nose tip to move to one side after rhinoplasty.
It may happen if the surgeon performed unbalanced reshaping on right vs left side or less commonly due to scarring. A patient need to make sure that the surgeon performs rhinoplasty frequently and see his good and bad before and after pictures.
