Hi I have a few questions regarding a rhinoplasty I had. I am currently 2yrs and 5months post op from my surgery. I have some concerns regarding my nose still such as it still looks swollen and a small minimum bump on my bridge. I have thick oily skin so I know that can contribute to delay my healing time. When discussed with my surgeon she informed me that it can take 3+ years for my swelling to be done. My old nose was also a lot skinner then what I have now. Im considering getting a revision

Hello, I had an open rhinoplasty in September 2021. It has been over 2 years now. My nose was very boxy and bulbous, kind of square. I also have VERY THICK skin. I attached pictures for reference. Now, my nose is (even 2 years later) still looking very funny. As you can see, the right side (which is the LEFT in the photos) is over twice as large as the left side. We don't know if it's scar tissue or just my skin not shrinking? What should I do? I hate the way it looks
I had a rhinoplasty in Dec. 2022 and am completely disheartened by the results. I had an alar reduction, long nose correction, and bulbous tip correction. After 8 months, my nose barely looks done and the tip looks more bulbous and droopy. Many places have informed me that this will be the best due to my thick skin. However ive seen many people end up with nice defined noses. What do I need for a revision rhinoplasty to make my tip more defined, less droopy, and overall balanced?
Its been 1.5 years since my septic-rhinoplasty and Ive been waiting for a while now for my top swelling to go down. I understand I have thick skin and it will take a while for my tip to go down especially but it the supra tip is making my tip look big while my bridge is low so it looks weird. But I dont know if this is a c complication or just swelling. I think its swelling or scar tissue because when I press down its pretty squishy still. Its worse when I smile and the tip drops.
Hello doctors, I'm 11 months post rhinoplasty, I have thick skin, I had my first rhinoplasty this year and I reduced the hump on my nose and refined the tip and made less droopy from the front, at first it was good then I started noticing that the nose becomes softer and less tight but at the same time my tip became bigger and wider than the first 3 months post rhinoplasty, and it makes anxious that it won't be thiner, should I have a revision even though I'm thick skin ?
I had my third open rhinoplasty in July 2021 after waiting 3.5 years since my second (also open). Basically it's still big. The tip has gotten longer/ drooped down again and my tip is wide - is there any hope? Have you seen a drastic reduction in swelling after 6 months? Seems I have a lot of scar tissue, is this fixable without surgery? Context: I have thick skin.
I had an primary rhinoplasty in 2005. I was immediately unhappy with the results, as I feel my nose is now too short for my face and the tip projects too far compared to the length of that makes sense. I have thick skin so I realize I will not have a refined tip, but is there other room for improvement? The reason I have not had a revision already is Im afraid of the results being even worse (at least my nose is functional!). Thank you for any advice.
I had my nose done in October of 2021, approximately 17 months ago. I do seem to have thick skin, but the nose is now upturned and really bulbous and thick and lacking definition, in my opinion. I would like it to fit my face proportionately and be straight on bottom. Wondering if theres any chance this will resolve on its own or there are obvious issues created from the rhino to be rectified. Thanks so much in advance.
Are there limitations on what can be done during revision rhinoplasties? I am wondering if a nose can only be fixed to a certain extent. I have thick nasal skin and have had 3 revisions. The first 2 left me with too much nostril showing. The 3rd revision seemed to take care of that but now my nose is more bulbous and wider it was originally. I am 2 1/2 years post op and wonder if it's too soon for another revision. Thank you
