Reversing Rhinoplasty Results

Richard W. Fleming, MD answers: Can columellar strut be removed and nose tip moved to original position?

I'm not happy with my rhinoplasty results. Can the columellar strut be removed and my nose tip placed back to its original position?

In order to answer your question I need to ask several. When was your surgery done? What was done? What don't you like at present? Certainly the strut can be removed, but it is unlikely the tip will look exactly as it did before the operation. It would be best to get a second opinion from an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. You want to be sure the healing process is complete or near complete before undergoing further surgery.
