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 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.
