It is possible to lengthen the nose after rhinoplasty. A number of techniques are available depending on the individual situation. One should note that with each successive surgery it becomes more difficult to achieve the desired result.

Nasal tip refinement

Adjusting the nasal tip in a revision rhinoplasty can be different for each patient. It is best to assess in person but should be possible.

Lengthening the tip after rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty with cartilage grafts or suturing techniques can help lengthen or increase projection of the tip after the original surgery.  A thorough evaluation by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon is essential.

Lengthening the nose after a rhinoplasty

Hello, The nose can be lengthened fairly easily after a rhinoplasty by grafting some cartilage. There are many good techniques for achieving this, but the only issue is if there is enough cartilage left in your septum. If there isn't, one has to harvest it from elsewhere, preferably from the rib for this particular situation. All the best. Dr. A. Gantous
