Answer: Is a revision rhinoplasty "worth it"? Thank you for sharing your question and postop rhinoplasty photograph. Has the dorsum been lowered too much? It's hard to say in the view provided as your face is slightly rotated, which will make the dorsum appear slightly lower than it will on the directly side-on true profile view. Overall, your nasal dorsum appears slightly sloped (perhaps a little over-resected). Although, based on this one view you appear to have a good result. I often advise a patient considering revision rhinoplasty to only proceed with a revision if they are absolutely certain that they would like to make a change. You're right that it is scary to think about going through a second, or revision, rhinoplasty operation. The stakes are much higher, the procedure more difficult, and usually more expensive. If you are "going back and forth" with your decision I would not advise you to proceed with a revision. I hope you find this information helpful. I wish you the best of luck. Kind regards, Dr. Harmych
