I went to a doctor for rhinoplasty- he told me he was just going to refine it a little and take very little off.He said no one would even notice. I did not know he was going to scoop out my bridge and take my tip off my nose- now I have an upturned- scooped out- short nose-small nose- with nostrils showing,crooked-and does not look like it fits my face. Doctors that I have seen want to use different grafts and I am confused-I hear good and bad about these different graft materials -Please help,Thank you

Answer: Revison Rhinoplasty, Grafts, Computer Imaging Hi Mermaid, Sorry to hear about your rhinoplasty unsatisfactory results. It is so very important that patients and rhinoplasty surgeons communicate in an exact manner before surgery. Many times computer imaging is an excellent tool to clear up any miscommunication about the degree of profile reduction or augmentation. At this point you should consult with a few rhinoplasty revision experts (as well as your original surgeon if you still have faith in his/her work). The type of graft is not as important as the rhinoplasty surgeon who will be constructing the graft and placing it. Your revision will likely be complicated so choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully. Good luck and be well. Dr. P

Answer: You should see if a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty might improve your appearance. I'm sorry that you had an unfavorable Rhinoplasty experience. I have found that Injectable Fillers are wonderful for adding volume to a nasal bridge that is too low, and for lowering nostrils that are too high. I am passionate about Revision Rhinoplasty surgery, but if you could get improvement without the inconvenience of additional surgery, that would be preferable. Feel free to email your photos and a description, and I'll be happy to share my thoughts with you. I hope you find this helpful.
