I Had a Rhinoplasty and Am Not Satisfied with It and Now Want a Revision Rhinoplasty. What's Your Professional Opinion?

Question

I still think my nose is unattractive and imperfect. What do you think of my nose? Please be honest.

John M. Hilinski, MD · Answer

I would agree with the other surgeons here. Honestly, you have what appears to be a very natural looking nose that does not jump out at you with any real obvious abnormalities (minus the columella issue noted previously that is not significant overall). I would have to say that you are simply being unrealistic in your expectations. The hint being you commented on being 'imperfect' - which is always going to be the case in rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty despite our best efforts at achieving this type of result. My suggestion is to leave it alone. Move on.

I read your concern, and it's not clear what's bothering you about your nose. Your bridge is straight, and your tip looks fine. You have a bit of excessive nostril show on profile, but you should only address this if it's concerning to you.

	Hope this helps.

Just from the photos the nose looks fine, it all depends upon what you were going for.  Mens' nasal dorsums should not be overdone, then they look too feminine.

David C. Mabrie, MD · Answer

In general your nose looks good.  You may consider making your nasal bridge a little stronger, placing a little dermafiller.  On the profile view there is a very small concavity in the middle of your nose.  Filling this indentation may improve the shape and appearance.  You and your surgeon may try a little salt water test injection to see how you like it.  You should allow enough time for healing, at least 3 months prior to using fillers.

	Often a good surgical rhinoplasty result can be improved with just a little filler to smooth the edges.

	Good luck in your search for information.

You have a great result and an appealing face. If you are dwelling on this result and your overall facial appearance as imperfect and unattractive then I would strongly recommend you seek some counseling, especially before seeking additional surgery.
