Rhinoplasty,7 months post op, unhappy with results

Question

I had a rhinoplasty 7 months ago to remove a hump, and i am still very unhappy with my nose, i feel it is still very large with still a tiny bump and hate how my tip sticks further out, and droops down when i smile. Also, the front is not defined along the bridge it is still very wide, and has looked the same ever since i got my cast off, is this normal? Will much change? And what is recommended to do in order to fix what i am unhappy with? Thank you in advance,

Sorry to hear of your concerns. A revision is in order here to achieve your goals. Further reducing the hump, refining your tip and supporting it up with a collumellar strut graft will do the trick. The downside to revision surgery is its another procedure and costs more money, but if your results aren't to your liking it's worth it. Find a surgeon who has experience with revisions and has examples of revision noses that you like. Best!

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns about your Rhinoplasty with us.Congratulations for having patience and wait more than six months PO, which is the recommended time allowed to make judgments of value and be precise and accurate.After having analyzed all the info and photos provided to us, i recommend to perform a Secondary Rhinoplasty (not a tip revision) this means (basically) treat the nasal bones and the nasal cartilages.Therefore i would perform a narrowing of the nasal base (nose osteotomy) and alar and triangular cartilage shaping.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Revision rhinoplasty for under projected nose with hump is what you will need. See a very experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon who can show u many revisions he has done.

Rhinoplasty results do take time, and most suggest you wait a full year for the tissues to soften. It is not too soon to let your surgeon know you see less than hoped for. An office examination and simulations can help you develop a plan for revision if your result does not measure up over time.

Unfortunately you will need a revision to remove the hump, shorten your nose, and improve tip projection. Consult with an experienced revision specialist who will give you a natural result while correcting the features you do not like.
