Why has my nose started to get more upturned? Should I go back to the same doctor for a revision? (Photo)

Asked By:Beautiful463280 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I received a septoplasty and rhinoplasty at the end of December. I am extremely unsatisfied with my results. I wanted my bridge straighter, and a small bump removed. I suspect that I have an inverted v deformity, uneven nostrils, and a hanging columella. I don't know what went wrong as I went to one of the top plastic surgeons at Penn :( I don't know if I should go back to the same doctor for a revision. I loved my results after 1 months what went wrong :(

If my primary was a “preservation rhinoplasty” does that mean I won’t need rib for my revision?
Andrew Miller, MD says:

The answer to your question would depend on the condition of your nose presently and what was actually "preserved" in your first rhinoplasty. Minor to moderate defects with a full septum still intact may result in no need for rib. But a collapsed nose with no septum might be a different story....

David M. Kowalczyk, MD, MBA, FACS says:

Hi there! This certainly could be swelling if you notice any changes during parts of the day, temperature extremes, or changes in your diet. If you've had a robust response to the steroid, you need to be careful as it could cause further asymmetries. If the area feels firm like cartilage or...
