Hello everyone, I had a two rhinoplasty. In my primary my surgeon took off too much of the bridge, which I really didn’t like. And in my revision I ask to make my nose straight by adding rib to the bridge. Over all my revision was successful and my bridge is straight. But when I look at my self I miss the little hump I had in my birth nose and I’m regretting not asking my doctor to also add some of it back. My question- is it possible to add a small hump with filler after I had rib revision?

If you are considering a revision, you should look at all aspects of the rhinoplasty, to see if there are other areas to improve. Don't let me talk you into anything, but to my eye, it looks like the tip of the nose could be elevated more, at the same time as trying to remove and prevent...

It's important to wait close to a year between rhinoplasty operations. After any nasal procedure, the body heals by enveloping the cartilages and everything under the skin in a thin layer of scar tissue. We need to wait for that scar tissue to soften and release its strong hold before trying to...

Hello! Thank you for your question.If you are thinking about a revision rhinoplasty, your surgeon may use the same cartilage if it is in good shape or get a new cartilage from your rib. It totally depends on your case and how the cartilage is. Best regards!Prof. Dr. Selcuk Inanli
