Question

So I had a rhinoplasty done and it looks the exact same as before. So I would like to have a revision and it done like a middle eastern style the very cute dolly nose, you know that kind of up turned look. Who in the US specializes in this?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

The feasibility of revision rhinoplasty could be made at a consultation. If you could gain access to your prior operative report, consider consulting with several rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what to expect after revision rhinoplasty. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

... In my experience, elevating the tip, to shorten the nose, is one of the more predictable changes to make in a rhinoplasty, even a revision. The woman in the short video that I posted with this answer had the tip of her nose elevated in a revision operation. The *amount* that the tip is elevated is, for the most part, up to the patient.Be sure to read the section in the "Learn more" link on how to stay out of trouble while searching for a rhinoplasty surgeon, and how to tell whether your previous surgeon should be performing your revision. Rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. Read that page very carefully. 
A revision nose, where the goal is to elevate the tip, is also a good example of why computer imaging is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he thinks he can change, and by how much he thinks he can change them. When you see his goals, you'll know whether he has an eye for an attractive nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes an attractive nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. But remember, you're not hiring him for his skills with the computer. The doctor must then show you his before and after photos to prove that he can actually accomplish what he draws on the computer.
Finally, I usually make computer morphs when I'm answering questions like this, to show the changes that are possible for a nose with a rhinoplasty, but of course you didn't post any photos. At the *very* bottom of the "Learn more" page is a link to instructions on taking and sending photos that are comprehensive and useful for an online consultation like this, in case you'd like a more complete evaluation.

Hi,
  
Thank you for your question. Most rhinoplasty surgeons can create the Iook you are going for, but it is very easy to overdo it and create a look you will be unhappy with.You would be a good candidate for a closed approach, so there would be no external visible skin incisions. I encourage you to seek out a surgeon who is highly trained specifically in aesthetic plastic surgery. Thank you very much for your question.

I would have to see you in person to evaluate your goals. The trend today is to make a well balanced aesthetically pleasing nose. Overly upturned noses are not aesthetically appealing and look very fake.

Edmund Fisher, MD · Answer

The trend in female aesthetics internationally for the last 10 years has been a strong, well balaced feminine nose. However, some women, especially those that are shorter and have small faces,  look cute and just as beautiful with a little turned up nose. I have done many of these rhinoplasties with great results and believe we must please our patients to give them the kind of nose that suits them best.
