I had a rhinoplasty 12 months ago. Is my nose botched? (Photo)

Question

I got a rhinoplasty 12 months ago and I think my nose has gotten worse over time than better. I had a pretty ok front profile with a hump which i wanted to get removed. Now My front profile is much worse than before and my bridge and tip are reall big and wide. My surgeon says I have thick skin but during our consultation he said I had thin skin which I believe i do. I just need someone to tell me if it’s really swollen or this is how my nose will look.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question, there are bumps on your nose if you can send your photos from side profile too we can make a better evaluation.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best regards!

You have had 12 months to heal from your rhinoplasty. Your nose is not likely to change much going forward.  A revision rhinoplasty, where osteotomies to narrow the upper portion of your nose, and some suture techniques to narrow the tip of your nose, should be able to bring you to a more balanced appearance of your liking. Check with your surgeon as to whether this could be accomplished. Best wishes.

Based on your photos, you do not appear to have excessively thick nasal skin that can hold on to swelling for protracted durations. If you feel that your bridge and tip are still wide after rhinoplasty surgery, revision rhinoplasty may be indicated. If that is the case, I would suggest getting a copy of your operative report and your preoperative photos and then discussing your concerns with a reputable revision rhinoplasty specialist. I hope this information is helpful and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

To me it seems that your nasal bones were not narrowed as much as they should be. Although it’s hard to tell from limited photos

Good morning, I hope you are well. Normally, the inflammation time after a rhinoplasty is around 6 months; however, there are factors that can influence, such as the recovery process of each body, which is what may happen in your case.
