Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Discussing your specific aesthetic desires with your rhinoplasty surgeon is crucial. Surgeons often aim to achieve the patient’s desired outcome while ensuring harmony with facial features. Communicate your preferences clearly, including the specific changes you mentioned, such as widening the nasal side wall by 0.5 mm and elevating the bridge by 1 mm.

Concerning derotation and deprojection of the tip, your surgeon can provide insights into how these adjustments might impact the overall appearance. They will consider the balance between the various changes to create a result that aligns with your expectations.

Best of luck !

Rhinoplasty revision is by its very nature difficult and complex. This type of work, including making an assessment and discussing what can or cannot be accomplished deserves in person consultations.
I suggest you focus your effort on finding the most experienced and talented rhinoplasty surgeon in your community. Once you found the right provider, you can sit down and go over your concerns and get a better understanding of what can, and cannot be accomplished.
To make an accurate assessment regarding the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we always need to see a proper complete set up before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took. You should also get a copy of your operative report and bring all of these with you for in person second opinion consultations.
Best,
