Will I need reconstructive or revision rhinoplasty to fix the collapsed cartilage on the side of my nose?

If you're breathing well, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered for improving tip and nostril symmetry. An examination would be required to determine the feasibility of silikon-1000 for your situation. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry you're going through this. When there is collapse, especially with breathing in, the best option is to strengthen the nose with your own cartilage for structural support. This helps both aesthetically and functionally. However, revision surgery is more complicated as there is scar tissue, and usually native cartilage is weakened. Ultimately the risks of revision surgery cannot outweigh the potential benefits, and a detailed discussion regarding the procedure, expectations, and goals is imperative. I hope this is helpful to you, and I wish you all the best.
