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.

Marc Polacco, MD · Answer

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.
