hey doctors i my self will try a revision rhinoplasty to restore my old nose if that's possible(not my exact nose for sure), so I been seeing also many people at the same boat as I wanting their pre surgery noses. My question is, did any doctor operated to restore a patient's nose to look like before? I had my septum lowered 2mm, tip rotation 2mm, cephalic trimming, alar cartilage reshaped. my nose don't look so different from my original. but its much smaller and less attractive on my face.

Answer: Revision rhlinoplasty: can I restore my old nose/
Hi thanks to share you concern.As it is only 3 months post rhinoplasty wait for 6 months for the tip swelling to reduce and then decide a redo procedure.still you feel an over resected bridge is persisting a dorsal augmentation with cartilage will be a better option instead of fillers.please do...
I have done 2000 rhinoplasties and never had that request. Ive of course had patient want something different in a few cases but never "restore my nose"
It is very frustrating for patients to be patient in regard to swelling! Your result looks most pleasing. The swelling is normal and I urge you to wait and to speak to your surgeon about any concerns.
