Can domal sutures be undone? (Photo)

Plucky183189Nov 9, 2024
In a maneuver to make my tip thinner, I suspect my surgeon made some domal sutures. I’m not sure if it was the case, he just told me he projected it by 1mm longer. It gave my tip a triangular shape that I don’t like, I think it was more natural before. Not sure if he removed cartilage but I don’t think so because he uses a preserving technique. If this change was made by sutures through the dome and lateral cartilages, can it be undone? Can the domes be released from the sutures and scar tissue?

Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty with tip deprojection. This can be fairly complex and is much better done under general anesthesia. The only thing we would do under a local is to shave down a small bony bump if one forms after primary rhinoplasty. I would...
