2y ago, I had a rhinoplasty to correct a dorsal bump. My surgeon suggested to reduce the tip's size to make the result more coherent while keeping the definition I liked, but it turn out to be very round, even after 1y+. When I touch it now, I can feel the shape of the cartilage underneath (which I like), but it is unapparent. Will the tip of my nose look as define as it did before and are there options available for me? I also apologize about the photos, they're quite silly :) Thank you!

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining revision rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. This can be designed to improve the symmetry of your nostrils. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon. If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon. Best wishes and good luck.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Revision The photos you supplied are fun but really don't demonstrate your present nasal anatomy very well. My best advice for you is to return to your rhinoplasty surgeon and have your present nasal status reevaluated. It may be helpful to consider steroid injection to reduce swelling. Best wishes to you as you pursue your treatment.
