Next month will be one year since rhinoplasty. A bossae developed & getting worse. It irritates the skin from the inside which causes the skin on the tip to look thin, red & pointy. There’s other skin irregularities on one side of the nose too (bumps/ dents). At follow up, doc said that micro needling (Potenza / Morpheus $1.5k a treatment) will get rid of the bossae & irregularities by thickening & thinning the skin in different areas. Will this really help? or make it worse?

Answer: Will microneedling with radiofrequency help with bossae and skin irregularities after rhinoplasty?
Hi, thank you for your question. We should evaluate with another face images -taken from 50 cm.- Clear images front, oblique (from 45 degree) side profiles. It appears, you had a suture reaction and/ or cartilage bump. Regards
Hi, thank you for the question. The nose side bones dorsum (and bulky nosetip) has some irregularities. A revision would make it much better Especially tip: with sliding cartilage maneuvers and other tip suturing.. Bridge: should be narrowed. You should be ready for second surgery. Regards. Dr...
Indentations are certainly possible after a revision. These are most easily handled by injecting a filler into the area. If it works well, then silicone, which is permanent can be used. Be sure to see an experienced injector to have this done.
