I have an identical twin. We both got rhinoplasty 8 months ago. I am aware that, even though we are identical, our noses were still slightly different going in and therefore our results will be a little bit different too. I mention it because I have a photo example of what I’m describing. My nose tip dips down into my nostril hole. It does not do this on my sister. We went to the same doctor and got it done on the same day. Can this be fixed? Or should revision rhinoplasty be considered?

Answer: My nose tip dips into them. Can this be fixed?
Hi @zannasiry. Thank you for sharing your photos. I would recommend waiting a full year before judging the outcome of your nose. Swelling can take up to two years to fully subside.
Best of luck,
Dr. Nima
The muscle may not have been cut at all. During a rhinoplasty we use grafts in order to support the tip from collapsing after surgery. In some cases, supporting the tip on these grafts is enough to counteract the action of the depressor septi muscle. Removing the support of the tip on the grafts...
One of the techniques we use to lengthen a columella so the nose sticks out further from the face is with a columella strut graft. Depending how these grafts are placed, Cstruts can lead to a narrower nasal base appearance. Hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
