Is It Possible to Put Cartilage Back into the Tip of my Nose to Lengthen It?

Hi,

First of all you are only one month out from surgery.  That is very early on and your tip position should drop down over the next 3-4 months so you are unhappy with a half cooked meal.  Let is get a bit more advanced in its healing and then judge it.  This will also give you time to get more used to your new nose and new face.  I am not sure if your surgeon did imaging for you before surgery or not but usually patients who have imaging done do not get so shocked or suprised afterwards. 

You also said you like your profile but you dont like your front view.  The photo you posted is of your profile so it is hard to judge the front view outcome thus far but again it is early and you need to concentrate on the positive improvements and not focus on the negatives especially since it will all go through lots of changes in the next few months to few years.  Even the profile picture does not cocmpare apples to apples since your after picture is not a true profile and your head is slightly turned to your left.  These subtle photographic nuances make a big difference. 

 

Hang in there and be patient and dont go seeking a revision yet!

Most people don't appreciate the aesthetic importance of nasal projection.  This could be accomplished during revision with a cartilage graft.

When I first learned rhinoplasty, it was all about remove, remove, remove. Humps were brought down to fit existing tips and tips brought down to match desired profiles. Current rhinoplasty techniques are more about adding to many areas such as the tip of the nose if it is deficient and might otherwise appear too small or blunted if only treated by a reduction technique. This is even more applicable to revision rhinoplasty where grafts are almost always used to maintain or restore lost structure.

Although, following previous rhinoplasty you should wait at least one year for healing to be finished before considering any revision surgery.
