I am nearly 2 years post op. I am very dissatisfied with my results. From what I have gathered it appears that the hump in my nose was not successfully removed, resulting in middle vault collapse/inverted v. Can experts please confirm this from my photos. My breathing is also very restricted now. I can’t breathe at all through my nose when laying down and get extra stuffy during colds. I also have lots of asymmetry in various places. Is this going to be easy to fix?

Answer: Inverted V After Rhinoplasty Unfortunately it does look like you have narrowing of the middle part of your nose with an inverted "V" deformity. This happens when the cartilage that forms the middle of the nose is not supported and collapses inward. From your photos it also appears the lower part of your airway is narrowed further restricting airflow. These problems can be repaired, and your nose could look better, by using your own cartilage to support and reshape the problem areas. This would mean another surgery. make sure you consult with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who is used to doing revision operations.

Answer: Correcting the inverted V deformity and internal valve collapse Your analysis of your nose is impressive. Yes, you have an inverted V deformity due to collapse of your internal nasal valve and disruption of your Dorsal aesthetic lines. Also appear to have a septal deviation restricting your right airway. And open revision rhinoplasty is recommended. In addition to correcting your deviated septum spreader grafts would open your internal nasal valve and support the med vault and improve your dorsal aesthetics lines. Your asymmetries can be addressed better and additional refinement of your dorsal hump should also be performed at the same time. You care to have them scan so care should be taken to camouflage any maneuvers so that you don’t have any external visible deformitys.
