Reversing Asian rhinoplasty.
Reversing Asian rhinoplasty is possible, but I would need to know if you had an implant as well as what else was done to determine when to do this.

Reversing Asian rhinoplasty
Reversing an Asian Rhinoplasty is feasible. However, you will need to have an in person consultation and exam with an experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeon to explore your options.

Reversing Asian rhinoplasty
The short answer is usually, yes, if what you received was the usual silicone implant without major tip work. It also depends on how long ago the procedure was done - the more recent, the better. If major work was done, then it may not be possible to completely reverse the procedure.

Reversing Asian Rhinoplasty
Unfortunately you are not alone, and this is a common request from those having surgery done abroad, implant placement, etc. Depending on how the surgery was performed, it may be possible to reverse you close to how you looked preoperatively. However, it would be nearly impossible to reverse you 100% to how you were before anything was done.

Reversing Asian Rhinoplasty
Whether you can reverse any rhinoplasty, Asian or not, will depend on what was done at the time of surgery. However, you are only 12 days post-op - it is impossible to judge your result. Be patient; don't make a rash decision about another surgery.

Asian Rhinoplasty Reversal
Hi Sammie125 ,
No plastic surgeon will be able to completely reverse the original rhinoplasty operation 100%, as if nothing was ever performed in the first place. However, the nose may possibly return to a very similar preoperative appearance with revision rhinoplasty.
Nasal implants are commonly used in Asian countries. These nasal implants can be made of silicone or similar material. The implants or cartilage grafts may be removed through small incisions inside the nose...

Is It Possible to Revers an Asian Rhinoplasty?
There is the possibility to remove grafts and implants. However, if structural components of the nose (bone and cartilage) were altered, that would be difficult to restore. Your surgery was very recent. With time and as the swelling dissipates, it is possible you will adapt to your new facial image and be satisfied. Either way it is too early to do anything. You should try to wait at least 6 months.

Reversing and asian rhinoplasty
Asian rhinoplasties generally involve placement of implants. but they can also alter the cartilage , soft tissue and narrow the now.
12 days is too soon .. you should now probably wait several months to see how it will look and if you change your mind.
if you still want to change your nose. your new surgeon will need the operative report to see what was actually done

Is It Possible to Revers an Asian Rhinoplasty?
Probably not. Rhinoplasty typically shapes the nose by removing cartilage and bone while shaping what's remaining. Sometimes grafts are used, especially in Asian Rhinoplasty. The only scenario, where I could see you being able to reverse everything would be in the off chance that an L-shaped silicone dorsal graft was placed to raise the bridge without removing the top of the nasal bones.
In any case, you are fresh post Rhinoplasty and may be over reacting. You...

Rhinoplasty may be reversible, but be patient...
Depending on the technique, some aspects of Asian rhinoplasty may be reversible. Some physicians use artifical implants to raise the height of the nasal bridge. If it is an implant made of silastic (hard silicon) or goretex, it can usually be removed with little tissue damage. Other implant types such as Medpor have tissue ingrowth, so the undersurface of the nasal skin may end up very thin and damaged should the implant require removal.
I would caution you, however, on making any...
