Add height to bridge during revision or with fillers or not at all?

G
greatfretApr 26, 2016

I find that my bridge was slightly over resected during my primary - a mm or two. I do feel it makes a difference, and I've noticed it since day 1. I know when I revise the tip by adding projection to it, it won't look as small as it does now, however I'd rather have a straight nose than an ever so slightly scooped one. However, I'm not sure how this would be done in revision since it's a minimal height problem, and was considering just using fillers instead. Is that a good idea?

I do not recommend using ultrasound for the possible removal of nasal scarring.  The best thing to have your surgeon do early on is to inject with Cortisone as this will slowly dissolve any scar tissue and leave you with a  very natural appearing nose.Thank you for the question.

Your mid bridge residual bump appears to be at the top of a mild polybeak deformity. Your lower bridge appears too high, and this appearance is exacerbated by a droopy tip.Depending on your examination, many of these issues may be improved with tertiary revision rhinoplasty surgery.Wishing you...

There is almost always internal nasal swelling after rhinoplasty.  There could also be some crusting present.  At this point I would not be alarmed, I would discuss any remaining concerns with your surgeon at your post operative appointment.

The columella is made of cartilage. And it's the same cartilage as the cartilage that forms your tip. So you can't just raise the columella without possibly doing something bad (or good!) to the tip of the nose at the same time.See the short attached video for an example of elevating a drooping...

Based on your photos, I share your evaluation and concerns. Yes, in my opinion- your goals are achievable pending physical exam. In order to make a final commitment- a Board Certified PS would require physical exam prior to final comment. But- yes- it can be done in the right hands.
