Revision rhinoplasty for ultra thick skin? (Photo)

Feasibility of revision rhinoplasty surgery largely depends upon what your original nose looked like, and what was done back in 2017. If you did not have an extremely large dorsal hump pre-operatively, profile the projection is feasible. Additionally, if you have chronic nasal obstruction, nasal Airway Improvement may be considered at the time of revision surgery. Consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists. When available, we like to review previous operative reports and before and after photos. Thank you for this question, and I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining revision rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. Lowering of the dorsum and nasal tip deprojection can also be performed at the same time. 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.
