Would I be a candidate for revision rhinoplasty?

Question

My first rhinoplasty was 8 years ago. When come out of anesthesia i ripped my bandage off (I was still drugged!!!) and I think it had a negative effect on my result. I have a c curve (to my left), my nasal tip is hard and appears to be sloping, and twisted. profile on the left has a parrot appearance and nose still looks over projected In some lights or angle I like my nose. I want a straight medium sized nose that looks natural without a ski slope. I have large features and want my face to look balanced.

While it is difficult to determine for sure from the photos, it appears that you have some cartilage asymmetry with fullness in the bridge. These are things that can be improved with revision rhinoplasty. If the skin is thick then that is harder to deal with, but a "medium-sized" nose seems reasonable. Be sure to find a surgeon that specializes in revision rhinoplasty.

Digital photos are not a substitute for an examination. Revision rhinoplasty may be considered for a smaller, more feminine nasal appearance. If you decide to consult with reputable rhinoplasty specialists, you may benefit from having a copy of your operative report, and pre-op photos.Hope this is helpful for you.Dr Joseph

A revision rhinoplasty can address making the nose more symmetrical, less projecting, and straighter. Since revision rhinoplasty is one of the hardest procedures to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, choose your revision rhinoplasty surgeon very wisely based on experience

Changes can be made, but you must be seen in person to know what can be done. Set up an appointment with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your issues.
