Question

I’m 9 months post surgery and my nose does not blend with my profile . My nostril are too small I would like to make them wider and my tip wider as well . My breathing feels restricted .

David M. Kowalczyk, MD, MBA, FACS · Answer

Good Morning! Yes, revision rhinoplasty can make your nose larger. Making the nostrils larger is more challenging and the cosmesis of it can be an issue. But, if your breathing is restricted, it may be necessary. Tip width can be increased via grafting and suturing techniques. If there's still septal cartilage, many of the grafts can be created from it. If not, ear or rib cartilage may be needed. If you're comfortable with your prior surgeon, voice your concerns to see what may be done. If not, seek consultation with another to learn more. Hope this helps you!
