Am I going to need a second revision to fix the tip of my nose? (Photo)

ffshopefulJul 13, 2021

I had revision rhinoplasty 9 months ago to fix a residual hump on the bridge of my nose and to deproject the tip. The tip is now 4 to 5 times as big as it was prior to my revision. It looks terrible and I haven't seen any incremental improvement. What are the chances that this is still swelling? Am I likely to need a second revision to correct the bulbous tip?

We have had incredibly good success using microdroplet Silikon-1000 for small indentations after previous rhinoplasty. Procedures are performed with topical anesthetic, and there is no downtime. Hope this helps you! Dr Joseph

This is an important question. Often times in revision rhinoplasty, we try to restore the original framework of the nose. In order to do this, we use sturdy structures like cartilage to give support to the overlying soft tissue at the nasal lining. To answer your question, we can put bone but we...

Hi there. Glad you were happy so far. But, I'd suggest a revision rhinoplasty and I do think the alar cartilages area can be considerably improved as well. We'd do something called a crural overlay to improve this.

Hi @Babylifter. I'm sorry you are not happy with your results. I recommend seeing an expert revision rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are options for you that can be determined after examination. Best of luck, Dr. Nima
