Can my droopy, long, rounded nose be corrected 3 years after surgery? (photos)

Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty. While you will never have a small nose, it can certainly be made a bit shorter with less droop. It usually requires building up better tip support. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

I believe that there should not be significant drooping of the nasal tip three years after rhinoplasty surgery. It is possible that you did not have adequate tips support during your primary surgery. If that is the case, you may consider getting a second opinion from another reputable rhinoplasty specialist so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. I hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you need a Revision with Nasal tip deprojection in order to shorten and support your entire tip complex.. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
