I had revision rhino a 1.5 yrs ago where a radix graft and shield graft were used with ear cartilage. From cast removal I hated it. I thought my nose looked too high and "fake" and the tip looks clownish. I waited a year for swelling to go down and my feelings were the same the entire year...I hated it. I had a revision 3 months ago and I wanted grafts removed but was told it might look worse so they were adjusted only. I still hate it and want ALL grafts removed. Is this possible?

Answer: Want my old nose back. Is this possible. I am very sorry to hear that you're dissatisfied with your rhinoplasty result. Without photos and a operative report of the exact treatment performed, it is impossible for anyone to give you specific advice. You arealready aware that revision nasal surgery requires a significant waiting period to allow for completion ofhealing and resolution of edema (swelling). To me the more important factor to consider is your presentrelationship & level of trust in your plastic surgeon. If you have a good working relationship with your presentsurgeon, there is simply no one else who knows your nasal anatomy better. If not, You should considerusing this healing time to actively research an alternative provider in your area. Unfortunately, this is thebest advice that I can give. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Want my old nose back. Is this possible? Hi and thanks for your question. I am sorry to hear about your problems. Any revision rhinoplasty should be delayed at least one year. I would seek out a surgeon who is very experienced in rhinoplasty and address your concerns to that person. Without photos and a personal consultation it really isn't possible to give you any advice that would be meaningful. That's my advice after 30 plus years doing this operation. Best of luck!Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICSTriple Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
