Is It Possible to Reduce Nose Bridge Height and Bring Tip Back Up After Rhinoplasty?

Hello,

Revision rhinoplasty is certainly more challenging than a primary operation. It should be performed by someone with expertise in Rhinoplasty. In your area, I would recommend Dr. James Ridgway in Seattle.

Best wishes,

Is it possible to reduce the nose bridge height and bring the tip back up after rhinoplasty? 
It is unfortunate that you have to undergo rhinoplasty for the second time.  The old cartilage grafts can be removed to bring the nose back to its original position.  The tip can also be lifted up but that will depend upon what techniques were performed at the time of the rhinoplasty.  It is important to find a surgeon who has performed thousands of rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty surgeries.  It is also important to have excellent repoire with your surgeon on this second endeavor.  Have the surgery performed in a certified surgery center and be put to sleep by a board certified anesthesiologist. 

Unfortunately the revision rate in Rhinoplasty ranges from 5% to 15% in the medial literature. The people publishing these articles are doing the most rhinplasties, so imagine the rate for doctors who only do this procedure occasionally. Grafts can be remove and nasal tips both raised and lowered to achieve a more attractive nose.Want your old nose back? You can't go backward, only forward and restore a more attractive noses.  When patients ask me to restore their old noses, they usually don't really mean that; they only liked their old nose better. I like using computer imaging to simulate potential changes in revision Rhinoplasty.
