Hi, I'm over 6 months post-op and incredibly upset and distressed by my primary rhinoplasty outcome. All I asked for was the removal of the bump on my nose and nothing more, but instead my doctor was incredibly reductive and left me with a very sloped dipped nose. It has also settled lower than he anticipated because he took out too much septal cartilage during my septoplasty. Would a revision to build by bridge back up with some kind of graft or cartilage have a decent chance of working?

Answer: Would a revision be able to correct my over resected dorsum
Often times, if a dent arises in the nose after rhinoplasty, it can be improved with a filler. If this works, then silicone can be placed which will give a more permanent result. It is certainly easier than going through another surgery. Be sure to see an experienced injector for consultation.
If your droopy nasal tip appearance is bothering you, the best way to address this may be with revision rhinoplasty. In our experience, fillers do not lead to tip lifting. If you decide to do further surgery, your operative report may be helpful to see what has been done. Wishing you well. Dr Joseph
