My nose tip seems to bend left a bit. Is there a very minor way to fix this without a full revision?

Question

Hello, about a decade ago I had a Rhinoplasty and a revision to help with the bridge. However there is some asymmetry with the tip that becomes very obvious at a 45 degree angle. You can see at one angle it looks normal, and the other 45 degree angle it looks rounded and very different. My nose tip seems to bend left a bit. Is there a very minor way to fix this without a full revision that is not temporary?

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, a revision rhinoplasty would be the best way to address this. Nasal tip deprojection with placement of extended alar contour grafts to correct the alar retraction would be very helpful and can be designed to help straighten your nose. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
