I'm 1,5 year post op. I have redness in my tip and impinged pronounced line running down my nose and around - looks like a finger. My columella is twisted. lt looks like the top part of my nose is separated. Is my nose pinched? I never had this in my life. My upper bridge area looks overly resected. I'm miserable and do not know what to do... My life and my nose is ruined. How is it possible to fix it?

Answer: Pinched nose In your particular case, you really would need an in-office consultation to evaluate your nose and discuss any further intervention and the risks posed by additional nasal surgery. Sometimes, additional surgery is not the answer. With that said, your photos show several issues. One is that your radix (top of the bridge) is low and would benefit from a small augmentation. Second, you have just a bit too much columellar show that is accentuated when smiling. Third, your nostrils appear flared when smiling. This could be a visual effect from reducing your upper and middle thirds of the nose. This would need to be narrowed a bit. Again, these are just some observations and not recommendations. Only with an in-office consultation can a formal revision rhinoplasty plan be made.Read about Dr. Panossian's approach to rhinoplasty.

Answer: Is My Nose Over-Resected The pictures do show that your nasal definition, projection, and proportions can be improved with cartilage grafts. Consult with an experienced revision rhinoplasty specialist. Your reconstruction will be challenging.
