I had primary rhino February 2023. Unfortunately I look nothing like my morph. My bridge has a flat edge to it on one side, my tip is bulbous and my nostrils feel more retracted from the front. My 3/4 views, I see bumps on the bridge that is very unflattering. I also have a dip on the supratip and when I squint and smile, it looks ridiculous. My surgeon refuses to acknowledge any of this. He just says my bulbous tip is still swollen And gave me steroid shots 3 times. I just want this fixed

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. In your case, a revision rhinoplasty should be able to produce an excellent aesthetic result. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. You should be able to have an excellent result. Best wishes to you

Answer: If you and your surgeon are seeing different things, a second opinion may be helpful. If you decide to get a second opinion from another reputable rhinoplasty specialist, it may be helpful to bring with you your preoperative photos and a copy of your operative report. At this point, I agree that continued steroid injections may not be a good idea. Wishing you well. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
