I am a 25 year old Caucasian female with thin/oily skin. I underwent a septorhinoplasty in 2018. The surgeon removed too much cartilage and attempted to build the tip of my nose with some sort of graft that is now visible on the tip. My nose is beginning to twist. Too much was shaved off my bridge and underlying curvature is now visible as well. Should I consider revision with a reputable surgeon or count my losses? I know this will worsen as I age. Any insight/knowledge/advice is appreciated ❤️
Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty Hi @Brave9480. I'm sorry you are unhappy with your results. I recommend seeing an expert revision rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are options for you that can be determined after examination.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty: what you should know Thank you for your question and photos. Though a thorough physical exam and surgical history are necessary, you are likely a candidate for revision rhinoplasty to address the graft visibility and overall nasal symmetry.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty for visible graft Just based on the photos, I do see the curve that you are referring to, as well as the graft. It does appear that you would be a good candidate for a revision rhinoplasty, but a physical exam would be necessary to be certain. It would also be helpful for you to obtain your surgical operative report to bring with you. The pressure on the tip of your nose is of concern, as it can lead to real issues down the line. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who has decades of experience with revision rhinoplasty as these surgeries are always more technically challenging compared to primary rhinoplasties.

Answer: Twisting Tip Good Morning! Thanks for your questions. If too much cartilage was removed and graft visibility in addition to twisting is occurring, the problem will not likely improve over time. Often, the problems get worse. Revision rhinoplasty certainly can make improvements to the nasal structure. Adding grafting material to create a strong nose with overlying camouflage grafts would help tremendously to keep the nose smooth and straight. It depends on how much the problem bothers you. Seek consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to learn more about what may be realistic for you. Hope that helps!
