I had a rhinoplasty 1.5 years ago. I’m not entirely happy with result- I had hoped it would improve with time but it looks the same. The nose does look better than it did though and I don’t think I dislike it enough to have surgery again (I will likely get some filler to refine the tip). I was just wondering if I had Pollybeak deformity? Would revision help much?

Answer: Possibly Slight, Revision Depends As the picture you submitted is not entirely from the side profile, it is difficult to tell about the deformity you describe. You possibly have a small effect of this supratip fullness, but would need more standard pictures and likely an in person exam to really tell. In terms of whether or not a revision would help, any surgeon would likely need your before and after pictures as well as the operative note from the original surgeon. Rhinoplasty is an extremely delicate surgery and what is possible with revision surgery often depends on the original surgical maneuvers and how much cartilage support is left in the nose. I would make sure you are pursuing surgery with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon to ensure that you completely understand all of your options.

Answer: Polly beak deformity Polly beak deformity is a complication that may occur after rhinoplasty, which is characterized by a dorsal convexity on the nose that resembles the shape of a parrot's beak. Based on the picture you provided, it looks like you have it. A revision rhinoplasty can, in my experience, resolve that issue with great results.
