Why is my nose tip looking so odd? (Photo)

Question

I had: 2mm cephalic trim, dome binding sutures, 5 layers of cap graft, 1 shield graft, 1 columella strut. I'm 5 years post op and my tip looks tiny and odd to me?

Hi, It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on your needs and expectations. It could be because the cap graft.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a revision in order to improve nostril symmetry and tip symmetry.  Maneuvers for your surgery would include nasal tip deprojection and placement of a mastoid fascia tip graft among other maneuvers.   With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Your photos appear to show thin nasal skin and visible asymmetries in your nasal tip. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for adding volume to your nasal tip for a more symmetrical and less operated nasal appearance. This may be a better option for you then revision rhinoplasty surgery. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
