Revision Rhinoplasty - Can my original tip be restored?

I can see nostril asymmetry, however, most peoples residual swelling six months postoperative visit the very base of the nose. Sometimes nostril asymmetry can dissipate spontaneously from 6 to 12 months postoperative. Additionally, you appear to have an improved and less projected nasal profile appearance. I hope this helps, and I wish you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. It is possible to make changes to your tip to restore some of its original features with a revision. For now, I would continue waiting and at around six months postop, you could at least start the consultation process. The exact timeline for surgery could be determined based on your degree of swelling. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
