Am I a good candidate for a revision? (photos)

Question

I had an open rhinoplasty almost 2 years ago (bump, deviation, dropping tip). Although I am quite happy with my frontal view, I am not satisfied with my profile. Nose looks over projected and tip is bulbous. Am I a good candidate for a revision or will the the risks outweigh the possible benefits? Thanks

If you are unhappy with the results a revision procedure will be needed. During your revisionary surgery your surgeon can address your concerns with the tip of your nose. The decision of undergoing surgery is a personal decision and of course as surgeons we can only make suggestions.

I understand going under a second surgery is difficult so please make sure to consult with a qualified surgeon. During your consultation you should go over photo renderings and explain to the surgeon exactly what your concerns are. He/she should be able to tell you what is and what is not achievable and do a thorough evaluation.

I am confident that with revision rhinoplasty you can achieve a favorable outcome.

Hello and thank you for your question. I’m sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your rhinoplasty results. While it’s difficult to make a recommendation based on side profile photos alone, revision rhinoplasty can help refine your nasal tip and correct overprojection. It’s important to understand that revision rhinoplasty is a complex procedure that requires extensive training and experience. When searching for surgeons to perform your revision procedure, make sure to choose a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with plenty of experience performing revision rhinoplasties.
