Hi Doctors. I had an open rhinoplasty preformed in October of 2014 to correct a bulbous, slightly droopy tip, and to make my straight profile more upturned with a rotated tip. I am a year and a half post op and when I look at my nose, I still feel it is too straight and NOT slightly upturned like a wanted. But before I commit to a second rhinoplasty, I would like some surgeons to give me their opinions on my result. Please help me!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question, LanaYoung. I suggest you consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon for their opinion. You may also want to consult additional board certified surgeons. It is difficult to detect the level of upturnedness so please provide better pre- and post-op pictures herein. Best wishes,

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. This is very difficult to answer without evaluating your preoperative photographs. I recommend that you return to see your surgeon, as he/she will have a good idea of what to expect in regards to your specific progress, since they can evaluate you in relation to your preoperative appearance. If you do not wish to return to that surgeon, then seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luckRichard G.
