I had my rhinoplasty 9 months ago and as you see in the pictures my nose looks heaps better, but I’m still bothered by the tip and the length of it. I didn’t see any significant change after the 6 month mark and when I talk or smile or with any kind of facial expression I see a droopy tip. What do you advice me? Thank you in advance for any answers.
Answer: What you should know about rhinoplasty recovery Thank you for your question and photos. Though much of the swelling is reduced within four months, your nose will be in a phase of recovery for at least one year following your rhinoplasty procedure. It is generally suggested to wait until this entire recovery process is complete to see the final results before considering a revision procedure.

Answer: Revision tip surgery might be required Thank you for your question. Looking at your pictures, I can see that you still have long and droopy nasal tip, especially when smiling.Through the revisional tip plasty, you can get more aesthetically beautiful nose.Operation will include lower lateral cartilage realignment cephalically and redo surgery for columellar strut graft or more stable supporting graft using ear or septum cartilage. Slight overcorrection may be required.As for the muscle surgery, depressor septi nasi mucle, it can be determined through in-person examination.

Answer: Rhinoplasty There is a nice improvement since surgery. There may be a slight bit more contracture and upward tilt to the nose to come, but it'll be very subtle. Given your concerns with the droop associated with facial expression, small amounts of Botox (or similar) to the nasal depressors could minimize this change and give you enough of a result that you may be satisfied with this alone and not desire future surgery.

Answer: Well, unfortunately, you're looking at a revision ... Elevating the tip of a nose is actually a complex maneuver, especially in a revision, but it certainly is possible to accomplish. See the links I posted with this response. You would want the tip of the nose high enough that it just doesn't bother you any more. A revision that just tweaked the tip up a bit and left you better but frustrated wouldn't be worth the time and effort and expense.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Often a nose that is too long will gradually drop down after surgery. A revision to shorten it may need to be done. It’s a very simple revision
