Question

I had a revision septorhinoplasty with rib graft just over two years ago. I am extremely unhappy with the result. My surgeon told me 6 months after the revision that the rib graft he used was calcified, so grafts are too thick. I had bilateral extended spreader grafts & LC strut grafts, right strut graft has been since removed upon advice of the surgeon due to being placed too high. What are my options to fix this?

Thank you for your query. You will need to have a full revision of your rhinoplasty with trimming of your cartilage grafts and perhaps a support of the tip to straighten and refine it. I would recommend a 3-D CT Scan or an MRI, 3 D photography, and also a physical examination with review by an experienced Board Certified Plastic surgeon. You can discuss your concerns and options with your Plastic Surgeon at that time. All the best!

Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photo you provided your nose looks crooked, nostrils are uneven and your skin looks very thick. The nasal bridge is too wide. Your nose looks to big for your face. I highly recommend you a revision surgery to get it fixed, especially for the tip. You will for sure need rib cartilage to reshape the tip and maybe extended grafts again. You can expect having a smaller nose (at least 1 level smaller), the tip can be lifted a lifted and the deviation can be corrected. Anyway, don't expect a very small or ''barbie'' nose, it is not achievable on you.Best regards!
