Can I have something close to my old nose and restore a little hump on profile with a Revision Rhinoplasty?

Monoi2000Mar 16, 2022
Hello! I had rhino-septoplasty and i asked the doctor to reduce the hump i had on the left side of my nose (my bone was asymetrical and my skin is thin) He told me i needed a cartilge graft to fix my nose because my cartilage is very thin and my nose tend to go right or left. Didn't think it would change my whole nose! Now it is upturned, tiny, the bridge disapeared. The bone was fully reduced (not only left side). Can a revision rhinoplasty restore something similar to my old nose?

In our experience, slight adjustments of the nostril margins may be better suited for microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections compared to revision with alar rim grafting. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph
