Is it worth to correct overprotected tip ? One doctor advised to do chin augmentation using body fat. Thoughts?

Question

I have done my rhino in 2014.( closed technique) I have done 3 retouches, 1 with general anesthesia to correct nose bridge and 2 with local anesthesia to correct nose tip.. all of them closed technique with same doctor Do you think revision rhino is worth it now to correct again overprotected tip ? One doctor advised also to do chin augmentation using body fat, what do you think?

Thomas A. Mustoe, MD, FACS · Answer

I agree that your tip is over projected which gives your nose an operated on appearance.   An open rhinoplasty approach would allow precise setback but some tip definition might be lost :  which might not be bad given how pointy the tip is on profile.   You need to consult with a surgeon very experienced in revisions and accept the recovery period.

Hello, Based in your photos, it seems that you need a successful revision rhinoplasty, your tip seems overprotected, your dorsal profile is too concave and you have nostrils retraction.Chin augmentation together with a revision rhinoplasty can be performed combined, thus you can achieve more harmonious face. Since you chin is backwards even if you have a successful revision rhinoplasty, your nose will look prominent from sides.You need to seek a professional facial plastic surgeon to achieve more  beauty and harmony on your face.Regards,

whether or not you will benefit from a chin procedure or not only clouds the issue.... your dorsal profile is too concave and not only is your tip over-projected, but your point of maximum projection is quite high and nostrils are retracted secondary to over-resection of your tip cartilagesyours are common secondary rhinoplasty deformities which can be mitigated by an open revision rhinoplasty with structural graftinggood luck...
