Trauma after revision rhinoplasty changed final outcome, what can I do next?

November 29, 2023
Asked By:daisyduke1999 in Buffalo, New York

After a revision rhinoplasty, nose trauma changed my front profile. Surgeon says that a closed rhinoplasty touch up can fix the flat appearance that I’m pointing at with marking possibly using ear cartilage from myself. Does this seem reasonable or must I seek other opinions?

Eric M. Joseph, MD says:

Since columella incisions are at the base of the nose and are not typically seen on any view except the base view, this should not be a source of significant concern. Since this is at the very bottom of your nose, it will remain swollen for the longest period. I hope this helps. Sincerely Dr Joseph
