I had my rhinoplasty in 2015. I'm 32 and feel it's time to circle back to fixing my nose. My desire would be to have my nose a bit smaller and fix the tip. My concern is that most revisions I see result in a wider nose.

Answer: Revision Your revision would require using cartilage grafts to help straighten and support the nose. This would require some widening of the nose by definition, especially where you have the significant curvature. I would recommend seeing a board certified or board eligible plastic surgeon with aesthetic surgery training/experience who can perform a full exam and provide safe recommendations.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty for a crooked nose Revision rhinoplasty comes in all flavors. Not all revision rhinoplasties result in a larger or wider nose. The nose that the revision rhinoplasty specialist is given to start with will dictate what needs to happen with the nose in terms of size once the nose is revised. In your particular case, you have a crooked lower third of the nose due to weak or over resected cartilages during your primary rhinoplasty. If a revision surgery were to be performed on your nose, the surgeon will absolutely need to add cartilage grafts in order to strengthen the nasal tip. When performed correctly, the nose will appear proportionate, not wide.
