Can I get reverse nasal reduction surgery in revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Independent810507Jun 6, 2023
hello :) I had a revision rhinoplasty a few months ago. in first surgery my nostrils were greatly reduced. I asked my revision doctor to make them longer as my birth nose. but I can't see any change in the length of the nostrils unfortunately.my doctor is saying this is the maximum he can do to make my nostrils longer. Is it really not possible to make the nostrils longer than that? also Any chance the accessory attached in the photo can make the nostrils lengthen by stretching the skin?

A revision rhinoplasty with an open approach is probably the best option since it gives a clearer view as to what is causing the asymmetry. You may need more cartilage grafting to help correct the lower lateral cartilage asymmetry, either from the ear or septum.
