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

It's hard to tell from just one view, but it appears that your nostril asymmetry is the result of uneven nasal tip cartilages (higher dome on the right) and a small amount of right nostril retraction... this is most effectively and reliably addressed with a tip revision good luck

Thank you for your question and photos and I appreciate your concern. However, swelling after a rhinoplasty procedure can extend for up to one full year after surgery, which can interfere with your ability to see your final result. I encourage you to wait the full year before considering another...
