Developing Tear Troughs and/or Sunken Eye Appearance After Revision Rhinoplasty?

Hello,

I have been seeing this in before and after pictures.  My feeling is that the lower an osteotomy is created, the more likely one will see this problem in the postoperative setting.  I would think that an injectible can be used to camouflage the tear trough after at least six months have gone by.

Good luck,

This is not a common consequence of nasal surgery - you should discuss this with your surgeon and possibly get a CT scan to make sure that your sinuses have not been affected by the surgery.  Rarely, if the maxillary sinus is blocked it can shrink the face
