I had a rhinoplasty a month ago, i used to have a nice upturned tip but i couldnt breath and i was getting inflamation bc of allergies so i decided to do it and i asked to reduce the tip since it was bulbous, but i used to love the upturned tip, now i have a pollybeak and i dont want to look like this, i know i have to wait, but i was wondering if revision rhinoplasty since its only cartilage and skin have to be removed with anesthesia or it can be local and is faster to recover?
Answer: Wow, your nose does look substantially longer after surgery... Very unusual to have the nose drop that much. I wonder what happened during surgery. The good news is that, in expert hands, elevating that tip and getting the profile line of the bridge in a better position is one of the more predictable changes to make in a rhinoplasty, even a revision. Yes, you really do need to wait until it's been close to a year after the first operation, but by the time 6-9 months have passed, the nose will almost certainly be healed enough to be able to make surgical plans about what to do. Unfortunately, nasal tips don't elevate as the swelling reduces very often, so you most likely will be faced with a revision. The operation can't be done under local (I use IV sedation, not general), but it's not hard or lengthy to recover from. I don't know what your recovery appearance and timeline were like after the first operation, so it's hard to compare.

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos 1 month will be not enough for any kind of evaluation because your nose is really swollen all over your face. It is safe to do evaluation at least after 6 months. Best Regards!

Answer: Local rhino Hello, although it requires an operating room, it can be done under local without general anesthesia. Also consider that there is swelling and the pollybeak might be from inflammation. Definitely discuss with your surgeon as they might want to try some steroid injections. Good luck

Answer: Anesthesia and facilities for rhinoplasty surgery Each surgeon will have their own preference for where and how to do rhinoplasty surgery. It’s definitely possible to do a full rhinoplasty with Out significant pain if the surgeon is willing to take their time. Many surgeons perform these procedures with patients under general anesthesia so they can focus on their work and not have to worry about the patientmoving speaking or being in discomfort while they’re doing very difficult complex procedure.
