Is It Possible to Get a Natural Curve with Rhinoplasty Revision? (photo)

I want to do a revision because my nose looks ''done'' and ''fake'' after my primary. I want some natural curve and height on the bridge and a slight depression at my radix. Also I want to derotate my tip at the same procedure because I liked my tip a litte projected and droopy. Can this be done and wich types of grafts are best for this. I had septoplasty done before my primary rhinoplasty. I am a male. I want to achieve curve on my bridge like the example pictures. Thank you for your answers.

Natural appearance after revision

The ability to acheive the results you are looking for completely depends on where you are starting and what was done during the primary rhinoplasty. The bridge of the nose can often be raised with appropriate grafting. I prefer using septal cartilage. If a septoplasty has already been performed, ear cartilage can be used. De-rotating the tip is a much more difficult thing to acheive. Overall, it sounds like you may have a complex problem and would... more
