Right after the surgery i was shocked with the results as i find my nose worse than it was before. I thought maybe it was still swollen. But a years is already passed !! My doctor didn't say anything after removing the splint about a revision rhinoplasty . Im very disappointed and i want to get a more natural looking nose. Do I need ear cartilage for the revision ? Is it possible to remove the splint after 1 week ?
Answer: Best Revision Rhinoplasty Hi Ms. Hope,Since your nose bothers you a revision rhinoplasty would likely be of benefit. It appears that you have a so-called "parrot deformity" which is usually easily corrected. It occurs because there is excess tissue in the lower third of your profile. It is corrected by removing that excess tissue. Ear cartilage is used for rhinoplasty grafts if grafts are needed and the patient does not have enough nasal septal cartilage. Your nasal splint can be removed after 5 days. Most importantly, take the time and effort to choose your revision rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully. Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty for sure From the photo provided, it appears that you still have too much cartilage sticking out along your bridge just above the tip complex. This is a common finding that I see in my revision rhinoplasty practice. Based on this photo, it appears that you may require a revision procedure. You may or may not require additional cartilage grafts; I would be able to tell you better following a complete in person evaluation.

Answer: Unhappy Rhinoplasty Result Hello,I am sorry that your result after rhinoplasty was not acceptable to you. The photo provided depicts a profile that is not ideal, I agree. However, without a thorough examination, the best possible option cannot be determined. In general, ear cartilage is used for issues in the tip and for isolated side wall problems. If your bridge is determined to be too low (it doesn't appear that way), ear cartilage could potentially be used along with tissue called fascia taken from the temples to form an 'implant' of your own tissue to place on top of the bridge. Alternatively, if the bridge is ok, then attention should be turned to the tip complex. These cartilages can have an effect on not only the tip, but also what's above and below the tip. Ear cartilage may be used, but septal cartilage may be a better alternative. Regardless, the splint is taken off at a week.Please see a few rhinoplasty experts who can show you similar results. Certification by the ABPS and membership with ASAPS are minimum qualifications.Best of luck!
