Help! Rhinoplasty revision to correct width of the sidewall bones? (Photos)

Question

Hello, Last year, I underwent a rhinoplasty and although I am pleased with the bridge and tip of my nose, I'm disappointed with the width of the sidewall bones. I believe they have been left too wide, and it doesn't look appealing to me. It's worth noting that from frontal and side pictures, this issue might not be glaringly evident. My initial surgeon downplayed my concerns. My primary goal is to have these bones narrowed, but I'm uncertain if my expectations are realistic

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

It’s not uncommon that nasal bones can de-widen after surgery ant this can be frustrating for both the surgeon and the patient. In a case like this, repeat osteotomies (narrowing the bone) may be indicated. If your original surgeon is not willing to revisit this seek other consultations with experienced board certified plastic surgeons.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
