I had rhinoplasty in 2003. No complications but former surgeon is no longer living. My columnella appears to be dropping and getting more bulbous with age. Questions - 1. Would revision rhinoplasty make my appearance less “witchy”? 2. Could rhinoplasty also improve my smile by increasing tooth show in the center of my smile? I am trying to figure out the appropriate procedure(s) to accomplish a more feminine beautiful smile.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty with proper technique First of all, thanks for your question. Unfortunately, such bad results can occur with some rhinoplasty techniques. However, it would be best if you had a comprehensive revision rhinoplasty surgery to fix these major issues. These surgeries require an excellent experience and a sensitive approach. When what is necessary is done with the proper technique, the issues that arise in your first surgery will be fixed. Take care!

Answer: 19 years post rhinoplasty, whatever revsion help with a hanging columella A full set of facial photographs from all angles are going to be required to make a determination about how best to proceed, since revision rhinoplasty is more difficult than a primary rhinoplasty. If you have a hanging columella, that can be Addressed with skin and cartilage removal in that area through a closed revision rhinoplasty approach. If you have a droopy tip, then releasing the depressor septi ligament would be helpful to prevent your nose from dripping dynamically when you smile. Don't expect your smile itself to change. Thick skin in the tip of the nose prevents refinement in the bulbous nasal tip, so it's important to have realistic expectations
