I had a revision rhino and am still left with a bulbous nose 3 years later. I feel pressure in my nose, it still gets swollen, and has scar tissue build up. I’m looking for a surgeon who has experience with revision to provide their input in whether my nose will remain bulbous due to the nature of my face or do you see potential for it to be improved? Interested in finding a surgeon

Answer: An examination would be necessary to answer your question. Based on your photos, you appear to have relatively thick nasal skin, and a wide nasal appearance. The feasibility of achieving a narrower nasal result, largely depends upon your examination and what procedures were performed by your previous surgeon. When we evaluate patients for revision rhinoplasty surgery, we like to review preoperative photos, and operative reports. Thank you for your question, and I wish you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Answer: Will my nose remain bulbus after I get another revision rhinoplasty? Much more information is needed, such as an in-person examination to determine the thickness of your skin in the nasal tip, and a copy of the operative reports to find out what was accomplished in the first procedure. Thick skin in the nasal tip cannot be changed. If you have thick skin, you'll also require a series of steroid shots to reduce the swelling in the nasal tip itself for several months after the procedure.
