Why is my nose still big, 6 months post-op? Do I need another revision? (photo)

Hi. I had a revision rhinoplasty on Nov 3rd 2022. Basically at 6 month mark and my nose is still huge for my face. I know the tip takes a lot longer, but it’s also the upper part and middle part of my nose that’s as wide as my tip is. I’m extremely nervous and my surgeon is very vague about his answers and doesn’t make me feel better about it. All I’ve read is the upper part of the nose should be pretty much at it’s final shape by now. I also haven’t seen improvement in a few months.

Based on your photos, you appear to have a crooked nasal appearance with a wide asymmetrical tip appearance. Depending upon your examination, I suspect this procedure may require general anesthetic to protect your Airway and to address all of the asymmetries of your nose. Wishing you well! Dr Joseph

Dear Celebrated980894,The images you have provided give a little information about the condition of your nose. You appear to have an inverted 'V' deformity, asymmetry of the tip, and a general lack of structure especially visible in the photo of the lower part of your nose and columella.My...
