Nose bridge looks unnatural/too high. Do I need a revision to remove it? (Photo)

Hi @zannasiry. Thank you for sharing your photos. I would recommend waiting a full year before judging the outcome of your nose. Swelling can take up to two years to fully subside.

Best of luck,

Thank you for your question and photos. Being that your surgery was only two months ago, you’re likely still experiencing some swelling that can impact your ability to assess your final result. It’s best to wait at least one year before considering another revision since your nose’s appearance can continue to change during this recovery phase. If you’re still unhappy with your results after this time, a revision can be performed to remove the cartilage graft and restore the radix to a deeper position.
Please keep in mind that each subsequent nose surgery becomes more complex due to the loss of structural support, scar tissue, and other factors. The importance of experience, expertise, and artistry cannot be overstated. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to review your surgical history, discuss your concerns and goals with you, and determine the best approach.

Radix grafts can easily migrate. The solution is to make a small incision and remove the graft as this may potentially continue to migrate or cause further irregularities in this area. I would highly recommend seeing an experienced plastic surgeon with specific training in rhinoplasty.

Based on your photos, you appear to have more projection involving your nasal tip then before surgery. In my opinion, your nasal bridge and tip are well proportioned, and your nose is certainly swollen. I suspect that as your swelling goes down, you may get used to your new nasal appearance without further surgical intervention. Hope this helps! Doctor Joseph

This may be something that can be quickly adjusted, however, the graft is likely there to stay without being revised. An in office appointment is the best for checking this situation out appropriately.
