Cartilage is hanging in my nostril instead of being in my nose. I also feel like my nose doesn't fit my face. What needs to be done and is this considered complicated or is it fairly an easy fix?

Answer: What's the chance of having a successful revision rhinoplasty Revision rhinoplasty is more difficult than a primary rhinoplasty due to the fact that there is scar tissue, and previous alterations to the normal anatomy. It's also very important to have realistic expectations, since there is no perfect nose, just improvement. The extra piece of cartilage can be adjusted on the inside of your nostril, and the residual dorsal hump can be shaved down all the way into the glabella to give you a more feminine side profile. Osteotomy's will also be required after the hump removal to narrow the bridge line. All this can be done with a closed rhinoplasty approach with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required, and no painful packing is required either. Choose your revision surgeon wisely based on extensive experience
