Rhinoplasty - are there any options other than revision to make my nose more straight? (Photo)

Question

I had a rhinoplasty more than one year ago and I’m concern about a front view of my nose. I like a profile but in front it looks off center. I think that the columella part is uneven. I’m really afraid to have a revision surgery. Is there any other option to make my nose more straight?

Anand D. Patel, MD · Answer

Revision surgery can be tricky and it is best to take a very focused approach, if possible. In your case, it may be possible to straighten the columella through an internal approach without disturbing the rest of your nose.

Thank you for your question. Revision surgery would be the only way to make your nose straighter. Based on the picture, your nose looks like it has a mild deviation, which may not be worth a revision surgery to correct. Small amounts of filler could be used to give the illusion of the straighter nose, but this would not be permanent.

Oakley Smith, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Hello. In some cases, filler injection can help create the illusion of a straighter nose. This may be another option to consider outside of surgery. It is best to consult with a doctor to examine you and see if you are a candidate for this procedure.
