What is the best way to try to make the tip of my nose look normal? Nose was deprojected in corrective functional rhino.

Question

Hi! I had surgery awhile back and am looking to have my revision in January 2021. Looking at the tip of my nose, what are some recommendations of potential techniques for trying to refine its appearance and make things look more natural? Nose bridge is thin, profile is fine, projection is average (could use a bit more imo). Tip lacks definition to me.

It is difficult to tell from this photo alone, but sometimes when the tip is deprojected it can look like it has less definition. This can be improved by reprojecting it some. The first step is to consult with a rhinoplasty specialist that can also do computer imaging at the same time to give you an idea of how it can look.

Thank you for your question. Based on this photograph  you will benefit from a revision rhinoplasty which requires significantly more experience and expertise than the primary procedure. In my opinion, you Can get significant improvement in your tip definition using a cartilage graft possibly from the ear . Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Your photo is not helpful for demonstrating your concerns. Consider re-asking your question with full-face B&A photos - frontal, oblique, and profile. Thank you. Dr Joseph

You definitely need to send both lateral and ‘worm’s eye’ (from below) views.... the most I will say from the front view is that you have definitely been ‘skinnied’ a bit....

Good luck...
