This is my second rhinoplasty and I’m not very satisfied. My nose bridge and tip are out of proportion. My bridge is too small which makes my tip look longer than it already was. Is it possible and safe to shorten the tip? I’m 25, 128 lbs, 5’4 and I have very thin skin as cartilage on the tip of my nose is very noticeable.
Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Revision rhinoplasty will certainly be able to reshape and create more definition to your nose. The decision to undergo rhinoplasty is a strictly personal one, as only you can weigh the pros and cons of the recovery and financial aspects relative to how much the nasal appearance bothers you. A rhinoplasty specialist will be able to comprehensively address the issues you have with your nose. While there are a variety of approaches and techniques employed by various surgeons, it is up to you to do your due diligence to find a rhinoplasty specialist in order to achieve the best results possible. Looking at computer-morphed images with your surgeon during consultation will give you a good idea of what is possible, and also give you a great chance to convey to your surgeon what you envision. @drdonyoo

Answer: Considering a third rhinoplasty I would like to know if the surgeon who performed the second rhinoplasty is an expert at revision-rhinoplasty surgery. Performing a primary rhinoplasty (meaning: a patient’s first rhinoplasty) is very different from performing revisionary surgery for myriad reasons. Revisionary surgery is complex because there is scar tissue to contend with, as well as the patient’s own anatomical limitations and then the prior-surgeon’s decisions that need to be corrected! It appears that improvement could be made in your case, but an in-person examination would need to first take place to be certain. I would focus on bringing harmony to you by de-projecting the tip and making it aesthetically appropriate and confluent. Keep in mind that with every surgery come risks, so please do your research to find an expert in revision rhinoplasty who has decades of experience.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty to bring back balance... From your photos, both your tip is too long and your bridge is too flat. You can ideally correct the nose by just bringing the tip in. You have to do that as well as bringing the bridge out some. That will create a much nicer balance while still being able to define the tip. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to revise your nose to make it less projected, as well as camouflage the cartilage you see in areas with thin skin. There are a few other changes that I would recommend as well. It is crucial, especially in revision rhinoplasty, to reinforce the nose to resist contractile forces of scarring. Revision rhinoplasty presents unique challenges, so please seek out a surgeon who is very comfortable with this procedure. All the best.
