Dent in nose after rhinoplasty - will I need a revision? (Photos)

Question

hello all, i noticed this dent in the tip of my nose after revision rhinoplasty with cartilage grafting from my ear. Could it be swelling? Is it likely i will need to undergo another revision? thanks

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, a soft fascial graft placed during a revision would likely help this indent.   You may also benefit from a tip refining revision rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Fascial grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
