What procedure do you recommend for revision rhinoplasty due to exposed, asymmetric nostrils?

Hello. I had my open rhinoplasty 7 years ago and I want to have a revision rhinoplasty due to nostrils exposure. My nostrils are assymetric (which I know is human) but because my nose is up-turned is more evident. Which procedure would benefit me? I am happy with my profile but the point is bulbous and the nostrils exposed. I've been told not to seek for a revision rhinoplasty as it could be worse, any advice?

What you are describing is unfortunately common -- that inadequate work on the tip of the nose during a rhinoplasty leaves the tip too wide and the nose too long. The good news is that, if the problem is that too *little* work was done -- as seems to be your case -- then there's plenty of...

The primary issue that I see is that your nose is still long, where we measure "long" from where the nose begins between the eyes down along the bridge to the tip. So a droopy-tipped nose is "long," and I believe that's one of the issues with your nose. I think you'd be delighted to see some...

If your previously surgeries have failed to address this problem one has to assume that it requires a different effort to correct it. My preference would typically be to use rib cartilage support in order to have adequate stability of the structure because the cartilages of the nasal tip also...

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...
