Is there anyway I can put bone graft in where I got the bump shaved down to make it look somewhat back to my old nose?

Question

Can I get my old nose back? I got a nose job because I didn’t like the hump on it. However I think to much of my dorsal hump was shaved off. I think the side profile looks good, however I think from the front it looks too small and skinny. It also has some shadows that look like a triangle from the front.

This is an important question. Often times in revision rhinoplasty, we try to restore the original framework of the nose. In order to do this, we use sturdy structures like cartilage to give support to the overlying soft tissue at the nasal lining. To answer your question, we can put bone but we prefer to typically use cartilage that can be gathered from your ears or even your rib.

We could restore that area with a cartilage graft.  The type I would use would be shaved or diced cartilage from inside your nose (or behind your ear). It can lift your nose, feels natural, and can get you what you want in a nice, safe, and natural way.
