What Factors Increase the Risk of Unsuccessful Outcome in Revision Rhinoplasty?

Very thin, scooped, upturned and short. From the research I have done addressing even some of the aforementioned problems will be complex. If many cartlidge grafs are used is that an indicator of poor success rate?

Cartilage grafts and revision rhinoplasty
Sorry to learn that you are not happy with your rhinoplasty surgery. Revision surgery in general is a more complex procedure and demands experience. But the results are very good when done correctly. The procedure may require cartilage graft, different cartilage suturing techniques to achieve the desired results. The aim is to achieve a natural harmonious look.

Revision rhinoplasty
It is always difficult to try to reverse the changes from a previous rhinoplasty. Certainly grafting would need to be done to restore a dorsum.
