Is minor tip plasty common after revision rhinoplasty? (Photos)

We need to see your current situation with updated images, however a retouch after a major revision rhinoplasty SHOULD be delayed 10 to 18 months, no less, doing it at earlier stage is a guarantee of suboptimal results, complications or even a disaster.

It is neither true that 3 months are needed to assess the result, it is as I said a much longer period, x3 or x4 longer.

Seek other opinions if your revision is not successful.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question need at least 6–12 months to fully heal and settle. Early intervention may interfere with ongoing healing and create new asymmetries.
Also, while it can technically be done under local anesthesia, I don’t recommend local anesthesia for such procedures, as it can limit precision and patient comfort. It’s better to wait until the final contour becomes clear and, if still needed, perform the correction under controlled surgical condition
It would be better face to face consultation
Best Regards!

give it some more time. It is nice that your surgeon is trying to help you out, but healing is not completed and changes will continue to occur. Depending on what was exactly done during your preceeding surgery, it is often advised to wait a minimum of 1 year. Some cases will need even longer. I hope this helps.

Based on your photos, you appear to have very thin nasal skin, along with an asymmetrical nasal tip appearance. When you're swelling is resolved after your revision, microdroplet Silikon-1000 nasal injections may be considered for improving upon your nasal tip symmetry for a less operated nasal appearance. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. I would recommend waiting longer than three months. I always recommend that you carefully evaluate your surgeon’s online before and after gallery on their website for both quality and quantity of results. Make sure that there are hundreds of real before and after pictures which demonstrate long-term follow up results with standardized lighting and standardized background. If your surgeon is posting mostly on-table results without real long-term follow up results, that is usually a major red flag. If a surgeon is posting mostly just splint removal day videos without longterm follow-up pictures, or all patient selfie’s without real longterm in-office formal pictures that can also be a red flag. Long-term results are much more meaningful than on table results or 1 week post-op results. Selfie’s can also be fun to look at, but these can often have a filter and do not represent true longterm results because of this and are not as valuable as real longterm in-office before and after photographs on your surgeon’s website. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
