2 years after rhinoplasty. What is happening to my nose? (Photo)

It has been 2 years since my rhinoplasty and I feel like the initial results are changing. Like my collumella seems to be falling as well as my tip? Does this warrant a revision? I had strutting placed to keep my tip up as my natural nose was droopy, and a ligament was cut too but when I smile the droop seems to have returned! Any advice is appreciated. Thank you for your time

You already know that your nose is too projecting, especially in relation to your bridge. You might be underestimating how much tip elevation your nose can use, however. When a nose is deprojected, it has a tendency to make the nose *look* longer, as though the tip had actually dropped, so a...

Yes, it is possible to make your nose wider with cartilage grafts. Your view is very limited. Cartilage grafts can be taken from your rib or cadaver donors. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
