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: What you should know about revision rhinoplasty Thank you for your question and photos. I’m sorry that you’re unhappy with your initial rhinoplasty results. Revision rhinoplasty is likely the best option for addressing your nasal tip aesthetic. By focusing on the tip, its size, shape, and definition can be improved, which may involve cartilage grafting to lift the drooping tip.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case from the information and photos you provided. You are a good candidate for a revision rhinoplasty surgery. During the surgery you will need cartilage (from rib or ear) to support the tip and avoid droopy nose again in the future. With time the tip of the nose can fall down if there is nothing inside to support. With a revision rhinoplasty surgery you can expect a pretty, elegant and more feminine nose.Best regards!

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.
