How much de-rotation and length can be added to my nose in a revision?

Question

I want the tip of my nose come down and align with my nostrils. I also would want a straight profile instead of a slope, with more build at the bridge. Is what I want achievable and realistic?

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Revision rhinoplasty for the short nose. Your goals of lengthening a bridge augmentation can be accomplished. See several very experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeons who can show you natural results.

We can't really say how much derogation is possible in your case based just on a photograph. A lot depends on how mobile your tip tissues are and whether you've had any prior treatment to the area to create scar tissue which would hinder tip movement.In general it is usually possible to counter rotate the tip and make the profile less concave like you're looking to do. You can learn more about tip derotation surgery at my web reference link below.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

I recommend getting a consultation to go over your concerns and your desired results. Revision rhinoplasty is a technically challenging procedure and I would suggest that you seek a surgeon that has a good track record for natural results. There a few select of these surgeons in each major city.  I would look at their reputations, board certifications, and before and after pictures.  
I hope this helps.

Simply, enough to achieve a more balanced nose. There several maneuvers that can be used to lengthen the nose and deproject the tip. Best

Curtis Perry, MD · Answer

Nose length and tip rotation can usually be adjusted. Revision surgery often makes achieving the desired result more difficult. You need to see more than one experience surgeon, have a thorough exam, and have a clear vision of what you want for a result. Then discuss your desire in the context of what is possible.
