Pollybeak following revision, 7 months post op, what should I do? (photos)

June 9, 2018
Asked By:annab1812 in Casper, WY

I had rhinoplasty done in 2016, and a year later a revision performed by the same surgeon to correct leftover bulbous tip cartilage. I am 7 months out following my revision, and not happy with my results. I’ve tried to give the revision time; however, the tip still seems as swollen as the day I got it done. I loved my profile after the first rhinoplasty, but now it seems larger. Sort of Pollybeak-like. What do I do? How do I address my concerns to my surgeon and what steps should I follow?

Answer: You don't have a polly beak. Rather, it's just that the tip is still strong-ish. See the morph I made from your photos.
