Nasal Tip Too Bulky and Wide After Graft

Dear Jessica44,


It depends on what kind of graft was placed

It may be best to either removed it entirely, or remove it, trim/replace the graft for a nice looking nose

When you are ready, please see a rhinoplasty expert who can go over all of your concerns


Best regards,

Dear Jessica,

Thank you for your question.

This depends on what was done in addition to the tip graft. If the alar cartilages were altered in any way, then simply taking out the graft will not give you the result you had to begin with.  The alar cartilages need to be re-adjusted.  On the other hand, simply contouring the tip graft may be the way to go if it is just too wide. Difficult to give you specific advise without photos.

Best Wishes,
