When I was 18 years old I received my first rhinoplasty. I’m now 30 yrs old- I feel like my dr did a decent job, I just think he went extremely conservative, probably due to my age at the time. I also think over the years it has changed and seems more hooked and my tip possibly needs more support. What do you think? I want to go to my consultations with the correct verbiage of what I need. I don’t want a small Barbie nose. I want something that fits me. *The photos w the red star are what I want
Answer: Rhinoplasty Revision Hi there! Great questions. Finding a surgeon who performs standardized photography and morphing in my opinion is essential. Morphing allows you and your surgeon to discuss desired changes within reasonable limits on your photos. By doing so, you should get a sense of what the surgeon's "aesthetic" is. Some go for a more operated appearance, while others go for natural. The noses you've shown may be possible, but the best approach is like you said - something that fits your face. Providing a refined, better rotated, and stable tip is definitely possible. I usually elect for an open approach to be the most precise while using structure in the form of cartilage grafting. Hope that helps!

Answer: Revision surgery will be really worth it. The drooping of the tip of the nose appears naturally in anyone over long time after tip plasty. This is especially true in cases of conservative surgery. Your nose is showing tip drooping, hanging columella and alar retraction, and you can get good results through revisional surgery, and it is worth the surgery. It can't be exactly the nose you want, but it can have a similar shape.To minimize tip drooping with time, the structural graft using septal or ear cartilage will be performed.

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty I hear your concerns and see what you are describing in your pictures. An in-person exam would be very helpful to determine which internal anatomical structures are still existent after your original surgery. I see that your tip does indeed plunge, which makes you look older than your stated age, as a plunging tip is indicative of the ageing process. Most important when considering any kind of rhinoplasty surgery is to study the surgeon’s before-and-after photos. Does the surgeon produce unique, natural results, or is the aesthetic more “one nose fits all”? Rhinoplasty surgery is very individualized, and you can evaluate if your aesthetic is in keeping with the surgeon’s by studying the actual results of the surgeon. As a board certified plastic surgeon and member of the Rhinoplasty Society, I like to craft columellar struts to prevent the tip from plunging over time. Just judging from your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for a revisionary surgery.
