I got a rhinoplasty 10 tears ago and about a year after my tip of the nose change the shape and got asymmetrical. I went to. Few surgeons and each one gave me a different answer some says I need ear or septum cartlige and some say they can fix it without. What should I do?

Answer: Asymmetric tip after revision rhinoplasty Thanks for the question. There are several ways to get the same result; however, the best way to insure you have a long term result is by reinforcing the new infrastructure with more cartilage. I think you will need more cartilage at least available to the surgeon in case some is needed. You may already have a cartilage graft in the nose that can be reused. IMHO, the existing cartilage needs to be separated, reshaped, sculpted, and sutured back with a cartilage graft to give it some long term stability. Good luck.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty for asymmetrical nasal tip A revision rhinoplasty can accomplish making the nose more symmetrical, especially in the nasal tip. Suture techniques, asymmetrical cartilage removal, and cartilage grafting techniques will all be required to make this knows more symmetrical.
