Am I a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty? In April 2016 I had a rhinoplasty procedure done. I had a large bony 'hump' taken off my nose, and my tip was refined. In the months after my rhinoplasty I was happy with the result, but as time went on I felt that the tip of my nose was drooping. Now, 7 years later, I'm very unhappy with my appearance, especially the way my nose droops when I smile. Would I be a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty?

Answer: Would I be a good candidate for a revision rhinoplasty? In person exam is essential. Based on posted photos- you appear to be a candidate for Revision Rhinoplasty preferably preformed through a closed technique. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS with a wide gallery of before+after photos.

Answer: Would I be a good candidate for a revision rhinoplasty? Hello @amyphyllida, and thank you for your question. Keep in mind that the nose like the rest of the face ages with time. The nose even when it has been operated is not always the same because the tissues tend to change over time due to gravity. If you are thinking of revision the best course of action is consulting with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty surgery. During your consult, the surgeon will evaluate your existing nasal shape and structure and will also take into account any changes that have occurred since your original procedure. Based on this evaluation you will create a surgical plan to improve the nose tip. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
