Dissatisfied with front view. Very thin skin and 11 months post op. Bulbous, wide, lacks contour on tip (Photo)

Asked By:KoraJ in Chicago, Illinois

Wondering if I need a revision or if I’m being too picky. Doctor did an open rhinoplasty on my naturally upturned nose to lengthen it with septum cartilage. Corrected hanging columella and hump. Told doc that front view was most important to me. I wanted less nostril visibility and defined/contoured tip. Is this swelling even though my skin is thin? Still seems short and bulbous from front. Profile looks good. Doc said he would narrow the bridge as revision but didn’t address the bulbous tip.

Why is alar rim graft needed only on one side of nose when my nose was symmetrical before? Will it make alar stiff? (Photo)
Eric M. Joseph, MD says:

Your concern about a bump on the left side of your nasal tip is not clear from the single image that you posted. Generally, however, if there is nostril asymmetry or slight tip asymmetry, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for permanently improving nasal tip symmetry and for...

Gary M. Horndeski, MD says:

Lowering the radix can be done but it is difficult. Sometimes it turns out to be a great result and sometimes the nose appears wider at the bridge and it has to be infractured. Since you have had 3 rhinoplasties, it may be difficult to do. Unfortunately, you have not provided before...

Can rasping lower my nose bridge or would I require a full revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)
Donald Groves, MD says:

Hello and thank you for your question. After rhinoplasty (nasal surgery), the nose can become REALLY swollen, and this swelling can take a LONG TIME to resolve (up to 2 years to fully resolve). I am not sure how long ago you had your most recent revision operation, but if it was less than 2 full...
