Unhappy with rhinoplasty due to cosmetic & health reasons, what will revision rhinoplasty entail? (Photos)

Question

Hi, Based on the given photos, I'd want to extend columella as it has been retracted in my opinion. Id also like to widen nose tip as it has been pinched and looks unnatural, shadows looking sharp on my face. I want nose tip rounded ball-like and not straight. Alar also looks sunken in on sides and nostrils flared outwards, is it possible to make it so it appears smoother and less flared? Pinched nose also making it hard to breathe. Is it possible to have these fixed ? Is it worth revising ?

Depending on your examination, Microdroplet Silikon-1000 may be considered for adding volume to the posterior aspect of your columella. This may not need a surgical approach. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Thank you for submitting your question and photos. Assuming a year has passed since your initial rhinoplasty procedure, you appear to be a candidate for revision to address the concerns you mentioned. Revision rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of your nostrils and redefine the tip for a natural-looking result that complements the rest of your facial features. The cause for your breathing issues may involve septum, turbinate, or nasal valve obstruction, which can be also identified and corrected during this procedure.

Keep in mind that each subsequent nose surgery becomes more complex due to the loss of structural support, scar tissue, and other factors. The importance of experience, expertise, and artistry cannot be overstated. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to review your surgical history, discuss your breathing and aesthetic concerns with you, and determine the best course of action.

It is possible that a revision rhinoplasty could address these concerns.

It's important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty to discuss your concerns and explore your options. During a consultation, the surgeon will examine your nose, discuss your goals, and evaluate your unique situation to determine the best course of action.

If you're experiencing difficulty breathing through your nose, the surgeon may also recommend a functional rhinoplasty to improve your breathing as well as the appearance of your nose.

It's important to have realistic expectations and understand that revision rhinoplasty can be a complex procedure that may require more time and recovery than your initial surgery. It's important to communicate your concerns openly and honestly with your surgeon, and to ask any questions you may have about the procedure and what to expect in terms of results and recovery.

Ultimately, the decision to undergo revision rhinoplasty is a personal one that should be based on your individual needs and goals.

Best of luck !
