Thank you for your question.It is usually possible to do a revision rhinoplasty, but without knowing the procedure you had, and what you are unhappy with, it is difficult to provide any specifics.I would visit with your original surgeon and discuss your concerns, and see what your surgeon says can be done. If you aren't satisfied with that surgeon's answer, it is reasonable to seek out a second opinion. Make sure the surgeons you choose are experienced with revision rhinoplasty, because the more times a nose is operated on, the harder the procedure usually becomes to correct what needs to be corrected.It is important to have a very frank discussion with your doctor about your desired appearance so that you and your surgeon are on "the same page" regarding your expectations. Best of luck!
How many times this can be performed depends on what the problem is. I think that it is important to take note of the facts. One patient, for example, said to me, “I don’t care how many times you do my surgery I just want a perfect result”. So you have to bear in mind that perfection is never possible and there are times when the surgeon has to say no, this is the best we can do. But if we do think revision is appropriate, certainly small change can be done several times to different parts of the nose but that really shouldn’t ever be the case. The things that I take into account with any rhinoplasty are if patients expectations can be met and the quality of the issues I’m dealing with?Certainly one of the problems in revision rhinoplasty is poor skin quality and blood supply to the skin, so there are times when the safest answer is not to have more surgery because the risks are greater than the rewards.
It is acceptable to undergo a revision rhinoplasty, but it is very important to have specific goals in mind on exactly the changes that you were attempting to accomplish. Computer imaging is helpful to understand what can and cannot be accomplished. Revision rhinoplasty is a difficult endeavor, so choose your second rhinoplasty surgeon based on extensive experience.
I am afraid you are chasing an impossible goal: symmetry; your nose is not crooked anymore, it is just assymetrical, one side is smaller so the pyramid leans to that short pillar; no surgeon may achieve correction of this.Leave the nose.

Thankyou for your question. The open roof deformity is an unfortunate complication following hump reduction as part of a rhinoplasty. It used to be more common prior to the structural approach to rhinoplasty. It results from the side walls of the nasal dorsum becoming visibly separate from the...
