Can my previous revision rhinoplasty results be corrected without causing further damage? (photos)

Question

I had rhinoplasty back in 2014 for the first time.I had a 'hump' on my nose.The doctor didn't correct it entirely so I had to get a revison.This time the dr placed cartilage in the tip for projection,but this ruined my nose.The carilage is visible,the tip is droopy,I have a dent in my nose now and even the profile is bad.I want to know if my nose can be fixed,if the cartilage can be taken out and if the bridge can be straigt again without it ruining my nose even further than it is

If the only issue with your nose was the indentation in your tip, microdroplets Silikon 1000 could be considered for filling it permanently. Your profile however reveals a persistent dorsal hump and a very droopy tip appearance. Unfortunately, those two issues would require surgery for a repair. I usually advise keeping your rhinoplasty specialist close to home. If you are unable to locate a specialist near you that is comfortable operating on you, you may need to travel. And you would need to be prepared to make several follow-up visits to that surgeon to tweak your results and to ensure that everything is fine. Thank you so much for asking this question and I wish you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for revision. The bump can be taken down, and the tip lifted and refined. It is very important to find an expert rhinoplasty surgeon for consultation because it's not an easy case. But a great improvement is certainly possible.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a revision with nasal tip deprojection and a mastoid fascia tip graft.  This can also be designed to improve the symmetry in your tip. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
