How hard is it to fix a narrow tip after rhinoplasty?

Question

My tip is too narrow after rhinoplasty, in order to make the tip more round again, will it require another surgery or is it something that can be done in office?

David M. Kowalczyk, MD, MBA, FACS · Answer

Hello! Great question. To achieve symmetry and enough improvement, a tip revision surgery would likely be the best. The tip can be deconstructed and reformed to a proper shape. Camouflage grafts - if needed - from the temple can be used also. Some would advocate for filler though there is risk associated with this (i.e. scarring, necrosis, irregularity). I would seek consultation with a Facial Plastic Surgeon to learn more about what may be in your best interest. Hope this helps!
