Is it possible to recreate a hooked nose?

Question

I had a primary 5 years ago. Too much was done. The tip was altered without my knowledge columella strut and the dorsum scooped out. It’s goes against the aesthetic goals of most people BUT I am different. Is is difficult to recreate a hook?

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

Usually this is quite possible, but it will depend upon how much scarring you have and how much skin you have (or skin contraction).  If you had a hook before, it is likely doable.
We would do a cartilage graft to extend the nose down.
