Retracted nostrils, fillers or revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)

S
SweetHonwySep 21, 2016

Dear doctors. I had a revision rhinoplasty to elongate the nose and and to build up the bridge. I think I have retracted nostrils because the surgeon didn't successfully lower the nostrils rim. Can I fix this temporarely with filler untill I do my next revision or fillers are not safe in my case? Also I would like to put filler on the nose to minimise the curve on bridge. Is that safe to do?

While spreader grafts may help a little with the bony sidewalls, they are primarily used to widen and improve collapse of the middle third of the nose. Any revision rhinoplasty is difficult, but if you find a surgeon with a lot of experience you should be able to get an improvement.

Thank you for your question. If your nostrils have collapsed and you now have to breathe through your mouth, it is definitely cause for a revision procedure. It has been long enough after your first rhinoplasty to consider a revision rhinoplasty. I recommend consulting a board certified facial...
