Am I good candidate for Revision Rhinoplasty? Thick skin, male, 34 years old (Photo)

A
Alberto31Mar 4, 2022

I found myself suddenly ready to undergo revision rhinoplasty, so far I consulted three facial plastic surgeons and one has told me that I have thick skin just based on the photos and that if I undergo repair "the results are not going to be worth it."I want to know if I am still a good Revision Rhinoplasty Candidate. I am anxious that if I do undergo the results will not be good. I don't expect perfect but hopefully somehow better than what I have for the past 15 years. I appreciate any advice.

Not really - You have a deep indent between your tip and bridge, and an issue like this may be best addressed with a permanent non-surgical nose job treatment to permanently fill the indentation. If your breathing is fine, you may not need additional surgery. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, most of your concerns probably won't be well addressed during an in-office procedure. When you change one structure of the nose, adjacent structures are also affected, as is the general aesthetic. I think if these concerns are bothersome enough to go...

Usually this is quite possible, but it will depend upon how much scarring you have and how much skin you have (or skin contraction). If you had a hook before, it is likely doable. We would do a cartilage graft to extend the nose down.

Your candidacy for revision rhinoplasty will require an examination. Repair of your poly-beak, adding tip projection on profile, and an attempt at improving nasal symmetry may be considered. You may need cartilage grafting to reconstruct and support your droopy tip, and this is best performed...

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...
