Nose feels too big for my face from front view - can this be improved? (photos)

Question

I had my first septorhinoplasty in Dec 2019. Following the surgery I felt like my nose looked too big and wide for my face - especially when viewed front on. I went back to the same surgeon for a revision in July 2021 in the hope he could give me a better result and this is the outcome. I’d be interested to know if surgeons feel it could be improved and if so, how?

Thank you for your question and photos. A revision rhinoplasty may help thin your nasal bridge, as well as the slight deviation on the right side of your nose. Revision rhinoplasty is an even more complex procedure than the initial surgery, and each revision procedure becomes more challenging than the last. I strongly recommend visiting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with a portfolio of past surgeries to ensure their qualifications and experience meet your expectations.

Andrew Kornstein, MD, FACS · Answer

The first thing I noticed, and that I would address, is your nasal deviation; nasal bones to the right(in the photo) and cartilaginous structures return left to the lip midline

Yes your nose can be made slightly thinner however your aesthetic issue is, in my opinion, your facial volume; loss of volume from the temple, down in front of your ear to your mandible by your earlobe. That can be permanently addressed in one surgery with autologous fat grafting resulting in a more youthful and balanced facial volume as well as antiaging from adipose derived stem cells. With a return to your youthful facial volume your nose will fit you face once again.
