7 years post op - Should I consider a revision? Concerned about how my nose healed (photos)

January 5, 2023
Asked By:cmdoozzy in Brisbane, AU

Hi there. I had a primary closed rhinoplasty done in Aug 2016. It looks like it hasn't healed properly on one side. Some days are more noticeable than others. I spoke to my original surgeon, who said it's fine and I run the risk of collaps with revisions. I would love some expert advice from Australian plastic surgeons. I had my original done in USA. I'm Aussie, but I was over there at the time. Cheers.

Steven M. Denenberg, MD says:

Your nose looks long to me, with the tip hanging down, like the woman whose images I posted in the link with my answer. I'd like to see your tip come up, quite a bit actually. If most of the excess length is due to the grafts, then yes, the grafts would be trimmed, or more likely removed...

Are there non surgical or minimally invasive options to correct nostril asymmetry?
Mark K. Markarian, MD, MSPH, FACS says:

Hello and thank you for your question. Although an exam in person is ideal, from your photographs alone it appears that you can benefit from a subtle tip refinement where the nasal tip cartilage is modified. I am unaware of a non-surgical modality to reliably (and permanently) improve nostril...
