Can my Nose Be Fixed to Be Made Longer and Fuller/More Defined After a Bad Rhino Revision?

I had Rhinoplasty about 7years ago and ended up with a curve at the tip of my nose. I just had a revision 4 mos ago and my nose now looks so much worse than it did. The Dr. somehow shortened it and the tip now looks like a triangle with no nostril definition but the nostrils are now slightly turned up like that of a bull. Oh, and the tip is still curved! It looks awful and I'm devestated. Can this be corrected?

Revision to rebuild nose

One can certainly rebuild your nose to help improve the features you don't like - but you have to be OK with the idea of having a larger nose

At this time, my only recommendation is to wait another 6-9 months before deciding what do. Your nose can be improved by an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon. The specifics of your operation will be determined at that time. I'm sorry you had a poor result, but be patient.

Rhinoplasty revision

In severe cases of bad results early intervention is justifieble. find a good BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON EXPERIENCED IN RHINOPLASTY. After so many revisions it may require extensive surgery, and lots of cost involved.

Revision Rhinoplasty is often more complex than meets the eye

Revision Rhinoplasty is a complex procedure. One of the most difficult parts is getting a nose straighter. Crooked cartilage sometimes dosen't't respond to standard techniques. However, tertiary revision can often be successful. IT is important to allow an entire year to heal from prior surgery then seek out a specialist in revision rhinoplasty.
