Hello, it has been 9 months since my rhinoplasty and as you can see, my nose is still upturned, a little short and too rotated. I told my doctor how I want my nose and showed him photos before surgery so I don’t know why he decided to do what he thinks I would like. During my check-up, I told him that my nose is upturned and he said “That’s how it should be. It looks more feminine and elegant.” I’d like to know your opinion. Thank you so much.
Answer: Revision Structural Rhinoplasty Hello,Only your opinion matters, and if you feel your nose is too upturned (and I agree), then it is too upturned. In addition, the tip is pinched and the columella droops (the skin between the nostrils). Go visit a few open structural rhinoplasty experts. In my hands, you would likely need rib cartilage to lengthen the nose and septum, as well as provide very strong supporting grafts for the tip.

Answer: 9 months post-op. Is my nose still upturned? At 9 months out there will not be any significant change in the tip rotation or projection. Much better than photos of others is computer imaging of my patients face when discussing goals for surgery. At this tie you need to consider revision surgery for tip rotation and projection.
