Is a minor revision rhinoplasty worth the risks? (photos)

Hi there, thank you for your photo and question. I agree with your surgeon that it really a personal decision. I do like your profile photos and it looks very natural, but if you want to further bring the bridge down it would require a revision (and it could look good too). All revisions are more complicated than primary surgeries, but having said that, addressing the bridge only would be simpler than a full revision making changes to the nasal tip. Take your time thinking about this. Good luck!

 Shaving down a minor bump like this is very straightforward with minimal risk.  A revision rhinoplasty is always harder than primary rhinoplasty, so it's important that your surgeon has plenty of experience with the procedure.

Hi Katie, You will need a revision rhinoplasty to correct the dorsal hump that is still remaining. This is not difficult to revise.  At this point it is best to schedule a follow up appointment with the surgeon who performed the rhinoplasty procedure. You can also schedule consultations with additional facial plastic surgeons who have a lot of experience in revision rhinoplasties for a second opinion.  Best,Dr. S

Your concern is so minor and the defect could be scar tissue.  Apparently, this bothers you as you would not have expressed the concern.  The revision can be done in an office setting using local anesthesia.  It is truly a minor problem that would take less than an hour, on average.
