Revision Rhinoplasty - Healing Questions

3rd revision rhinoplasty 1 month ago to fix asymmetrical tip on right side + VERY deviated septum. Thin skin. Ear cartilage grafted on tip, deviated septum supposedly tackled. Open approach. Now right side of tip looks too defined + right columella too prominent, with fake wavy look to ¾ profile. Septum HUGE + occupies most of right nostril. Also square dent on left side of columella! Will it get better? If asymmetry is permanent, can I fix it with fillers? How soon can I use those?

Revision Rhinoplasty and Septal Deviation

I'm very sorry to hear about your problem. Lets assume you have researched well and the last surgeon was an accomplished Rhinoplasty surgeon.

Sorry for the issues with your nose. BUT 3 revisions WOW!. Maybe you need some time off from the surgeries to allow at least 9 months of healing. From the one posted side oblique photo very hard to give any advise. I think you need more healing time and allow the grafts to "settle" in. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091

Rhinoplasty - One week after surgery

It is very difficult to answer questions about appearance without actually seeing you. Additionally, I would offer that one week after surgery, even in person it is difficult to say how your appearance will be after recovery. The only definite statement I can make is that it will change. The best person to answer your questions is your surgeon. Not only will they be able to see how you look, but they have seen you before and during surgery also. Share your concerns with them. It will... more
