can a nose job become irreversible and why? I have a botched nose job with serious breathing problems. I visited a few ENTs/plastic surgeons in my area and they said that fixing my breathing problems would not be possible because my cartilage is so badly collapsed. HELP I'm really worried and depressed! My nose looks good physically but I cannot breathe, it is too narrow and small.

Answer: Irreversible rhinoplasty I have never seen a nose that can not be improved at least somewhat. There is always rib cartilage available to reconstruct the framework if the native cartilage is damaged. I would recommend visiting with a few other revision rhinoplasty surgeons. Best of luck

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty It is highly unlikely that nothing can be done. There are several techniques in a revision specialist's toolbag to help even the most complex nose. Cartilage grafting (rib or ear), boney recontouring, Spirox implants, tissue thinning, and internal scar revisions are all things that may help. As an aside, we are a research site for the Spirox implant and have seen some nice results. Even with the worst noses, I don't recall anyone not being able to get some improvement. Best wishes.
