3.5 years post-op- What went wrong with my rhinoplasty and is it something that can be improved with a revision? (Photos)

April 21, 2022
Asked By:bibm1234 in England, United Kingdom

I had a rhinoplasty 3.5 years ago and have been unhappy with the results ever since. I really regret asking the surgeon to touch the tip of my nose, as it now seems downturned/ flattened and the nostrils are uneven. What went ‘wrong’ and is it something that can be improved with a revision?

Hi, thank you for the question. Axis deviation should be fixed as well as nose bridge should be refined. 1 year following surgery is ideal. BestCem Altindag

I feel like my nose looks shorter now after the tip was lifted. Is anyone able to identify what was done here? (photos)
Cem Altindag, MD says:

Hi, thank you for the question. It seems that: your nose dorsum is still high and the lip tip angle may be reduced, if you wish. It is not necessary to reduce the projection of the nose. Refining those areas would be enough. Regards. Cem A.
