Post Rhinoplasty Tip Projection - is it too high? (Photo)

You're right, photo is not very good, a complete set of images would be needed for a complete assessment, however here we can see a totally upturned or piggy nose, over shortened nose and septum, a saddle nose problem, over projected tip, etc.

Proceed to carry out a thorough research and consultations with different experts in revision rhinoplasty; your case is now of very high difficulty, 9/10 in challenge scale of revisions; surgical time 5-6 hours and many grafting needed (eventually rib too).

If your bridge were a bit higher, your nasal tip would appear less projected, I think. Additionally, adding a bit of chin volume, with either filler or an implant, would also lead to a less projected nasal appearance on profile. I would consider either of these options before a third rhinoplasty. Thank you so much for your question, and I hope you find it helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a a revision rhinoplasty with nasal tip, deptojection and tip derotation. This will dramatically help the overall appearance of your nose. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
