How complex would my revision rhinoplasty be? (photos)

Question

Hi I had rhinoplasty in 2008 but I was&still am very unhappy with the result, the dr didn’t do what we discussed- he just filed the bridge a bit to give a more streamlined side profile but my side profile didn’t bother me! It looks the same aS pre surgery. I want narrower bridge&pointier tip. I’ve had dermal fillers in it but it still doesn’t give me the front narrower look I want. I want the bridge narrower and the tip. Is this a difficult procedure? And what about price? Please help.

Hello and thank you for your question. I’m sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your rhinoplasty results. It appears that you’re overall quite satisfied with your nasal tip and nostrils, but are hoping to narrow your nasal bridge. This will likely require osteotomy — a procedure that involves cutting bone and cartilage to create a more narrow bridge. An in-person consultation complete with digital imaging is important to assess your underlying bone and tissue before performing the procedure. I highly recommend visiting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has plenty of experience performing revision rhinoplasties before moving forward.

The complexity of revision rhinoplasty typically requires an examination. That said, revision surgery is commonly requested for achieving a narrower nasal appearance. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph
