15 months post primary rhinoplasty, what's happening to my bridge?

Practical8751Aug 26, 2023
15 months post primary rhinoplasty. Is my bridge collapsing? I have very thin skin. I feel like my doctor was way too aggressive. Every month it feels lower and more pinched. He did put in spreader grafts in but I don't think it was enough - my breathing has been getting worse. Is it possible to correct with natural results? If so how?

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos your nose is still too swollen. I cannot make any decent consultation. After 1 year the consultations will be much more decent. Best Regards!

During an alarplasty, a portion of someone's nostril is surgically removed. I am unaware of any techniques to widen the base of the nose once it has been surgically narrowed. I wish I could be here for the help to you. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello, hope you are well. It appears you had a dorsal reduction which lowered your bridge modestly. I would not suggest that your bridge was 'over-resected' or that there are any other overt deformities based on these photos, but that doesn't mean that the result did not match your expectations....

With you only being a few months out, I highly doubt any surgeon is ready to touch your nose again but I would discuss with your surgeon. This doesn't look right to me. It is possible you have scar tissue formation or something else is going on (hard to know without feeling it and looking at the...

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand from your question with revision rhinoplasty you might get more curved and lower nose bridge and also your deviation can be fixed. However, it will be much decent way to make a evaluation with photos. If you can provide photos from...
