I developed polybeak after my first rhinoplasty, and then once again after my second rhinoplasty. Can it be corrected? Also, can my long nose be shortened? I want a small straight nose. I dont like how my tip dips below my nostrils. Can that be fixed?

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty for pollybeak The features that you are unhappy with can certainly be addressed with a revision rhinoplasty. The pollybeak formation that you have can be due to a couple factors. It is either due to inadequate removal of the cartilage that comprises that region of your nose or scar formation that can occur due to a variety of factors. Either way, the reason for this can be identified and addressed during the surgery. In the case of the projection of your nose, more photos would be helpful but in the ones that you submitted, it looks like the bridge of your nose could use some augmentation, or building up because it looks low in the profile photo. If augmented, this would add height to your profile and make your nose look less pronounced at the tip. You appear to have thick skin which has a tendency to have prolonged swelling and scar formation. Because of this, it is imperative that you follow up routinely with your rhinoplasty surgeon to ensure that if a problem arises, it can be addressed.
