I recently had rhinoplasty and am very unhappy with the results.My surgeon said he would do it again but i worry he could end up messing it up more. He placed a radix graft which i dont like and made my tip appear shorter and theres to much nostril show.i think removing the radix graft and shaving the bridge down a little bit more would be easy but im scared about the tip part.Id want it lengthened and less nostril show how hard is this? its not "severly" over rotated but it still is.

Answer: Timing for revision rhinoplasty
You've had alot done to your nose. Removing the radix graft and shaving down the dorsum should be a relatively straightforward procedure. Treating the tip is more complex and you should wait for the tissue planes are more defined in the range of 1 year. You may require grafts from the ear.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty -lengthened and less nostril show
Revision rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult operations to do in the entire field of plastic surgery. Make sure that your surgeon has performed thousands of rhinoplasties before embarking on difficult revision rhinoplasty.
There are many different techniques that will reduce nostril show, some of which include trimming the membranous septal cartilage columella, and/or composite grafts taken from the ear to bring the nostril rim down. Also, cartilaginous grafts can be placed along the bridge to lessen an over-rotated nose. Full transfixion incision during a closed rhinoplasty technique will also deproject the tip of the nose and in fact derotate the tip. Extended spread grafts also are used to lengthen the nose and push the nose downward.
