Rhino gone wrong? What are my options? (Photo)

Question

I got a rhinoplasty to smooth out a small hump and raise the tip of the nose. The goal was to improve my side profile. Not exactly sure when I started noticing but the right side of my nasal bone kinda shows. My ENT did inform me of a mild deviated septum on my right nostril but didn’t recommend surgery. I’m wondering if it’s all connected .

Thank you for your question and photos. You do not mention how long ago your surgery was performed. Keep in mind that it can take up to one year for rhinoplasty results to become fully apparent, as swelling can linger for that long. If it has been over a year, it's possible for minor deviations in the septum to cause asymmetry following rhinoplasty. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in revision rhinoplasty techniques to assess the issue and determine appropriate treatment options.

Based on your photos, your tip still doesn't have great projection above the level of the bridge. This can be adjusted during a revision to give it a nicer shape from the side. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Based on your photos, you appear to have a small indentation just below the bump on your nose along your right nasal sidewall. Depending on your condition, a few droplets of Silikon-1000 maybe helpful for filling this indentation and improving the appearance of your nose. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Much more information is needed, such as a frontal view photograph, and a copy of the operative report to find out what was accomplished in the first procedure. It's important to also know how much cartilage you have leftover on the inside of your nose for potential grafting purposes. You also appear to have thick skin in the tip of the nose, so give consideration to placement of a steroid shot in that supratip area. Best to wait at least one year before undergoing any revision surgery
