Is is Possible to Reverse a Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty procedures can improve structural dimensions of the nose. In this particular case, the structural components of the nose were reduced, now necessitating a secondary rhinoplasty to build the dorsum and nasal tip back. This may require harvesting of autologous cartilage to improve structural support and is quite possible.

You could consider having an Injectable Filler treatment to add volume back to your nasal bridge, and to try to lower your retracted nostrils.
This is my best advice seeing only the profile photos you provide. Nasal lengthening is nearly impossible with revision rhinoplasty. You should keep further surgery as a last resort. Make sure any future physicians that treat your nose are expert in the art of both non-surgical and surgical Rhinoplasty.
I hope this is helpful for you.

It is not uncommon for a patient seeking revision rhinoplasty to ask for their old nose back. We can use their old photos to see what they desire but once surgery has been performed, it cannot be reversed. What we can do is rebuild the nose to restore the profile as well as other areas of the nose. I suggest you seek out a specialist in revision Rhinoplasty for an opinion about further surgery.

It is very important that you see a revision rhinoplasty specialist who is very experienced in correcting problems such as yours. Look at their before and after results of noses like yours.

Hi Peter,
Sorry that you rhinoplasty results were unsatisfactory. It is difficult but possible to augment your nasal dorsum and add length to your shortened nasal septal angle. These are most advanced revision rhinoplasty techniques. Alarplasty is not reversible, but it appears that you have some lateral alar retraction that can be improved upon. It is most important that you choose your revision rhinoplasty surgeon carefully.
Good luck and be well.

It is impossible to completely reverse a rhinoplasty, but there are ways to build up the dorsal hump if it has been over-resected. This can be done with cartilage graft taken from the inside of the nose. If the septum has been shortened too much, extended spreader grafts can be done along with some other maneuvers in an attempt to lengthen the nose. The flaring nostrils can be reduced with alar base incisions if needed. The bridge can probably be built up several millimeters and the tip can be projected a few millimeters.

It is difficult for me to see well your areas of concern in the photos that you offered. Close-up and more clinically oriented photos would allow me to give you a better answer to your questions. Nevertheless, it seems to me that your contours can be improved with a revision rhinoplasty. It is important that you seek the services of a rhinoplasty surgeon with substantial experience in both primary and revision rhinoplasty.
In good hands, I feel confident that your desired improvements can be achieved. The surgeon, or surgeons, that you consult with can discuss the potential effectiveness of procedures in achieving the results you desire.

You have a very difficult post rhinoplasty issue. I would recommend you see Dr. Jack Gunter in Dallas, Texas for this revision.

I can appreciate your dissatisfaction with the rhinoplasty results. The areas that you complain about can be corrected in the hands of a qualified rhinoplasty surgeon. The over-resection of the dorsum can be corrected with an implant or graft, and the tip rotation can be reduced with cartilage grafting maneuvers.
Although the exact old shape of your nose may be difficult to duplicate, you are likely to have a much improved result from revision rhinoplasty.

You do have a substandard rhinoplasty result. But, a complete reversal of your surgical result is not possible. It is in your best interest to see a surgeon who is experienced in revision Rhinoplasty surgery and show him your Pre-surgery photos and see what he would suggest you have done.
In my opinion. you would benefit from a dorsal graft to raise your overly reduced dorsum as well as Spreader Grafts placed along the septum to lengthen the nose and de-rotate the tip downwards from its overly upward rotated position.
Good Luck.
