Rhinoplasty: Q&A

Do I Have a Pollybeak Deformity or an Inverted V Deformity?
So as I mentioned in my other posts, I had open rhinoplasty on the 25th of June, 2010. I want to show you now how HORRIBLE my nose looks from the front: the tip is huge, and wide, and the sides of my nostrils are "swollen", kind of like an African American's nose, except I'm white, so it isn't very flattering. I am getting increasingly more annoyed and hopeless as the days go by. I want to know what deformity I have. Is it pollybeak? Inverted-v? How am I going to reverse this? Thanks..

Inverted V deformity, etc.
Yes, it appears like you do have an inverted v deformity. It is too soon to say what can be done for it and a possible pollybeak. You need to wait until 9-`12 months post op and then see an experienced revision rhinoplasty specialist to repair this.

Polly Beak or Inverted V
It does appear that you have an inverted V deformity. A poly beak cannot be diagnosed without a profile view. Wait 6-9 months after your surgery to see an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon to determine if additional surgery is necessary.

Polly beak or inverted V
Polly beak is best diagnosed from a side view and from a frontal view, I would not describe your nose as horrible or severely swollen.

Polly Beak or Inverted V
Hi,
Its difficult or impossible to say if you have a pollybeak deformity without seeing a profile shot of your nose. From the frontal picture it appears that you may have had a poor osteotomy leaving you with a wide bridge and/or an inverted V deformity.
Best,
Dr.S.

Post Rhinoplsty Concern
Frankly, your nose looks fine, even for being a few weeks post op. Of course, it will only get significantly better. Relax and give it a year. Massage is a good idea.
