Is Rhinoplasty Completely Reversible?

I read your concerns. I'm not familiar with the product "permacol" that was used to raise your bridge. If this is a rubberized silicone product, it might lend itself to early removal.

In your description, your concern is that you don't like the "plastic" appearance of your nose. Using that description, it's not clear what you're dissatisfied with. It sounds like you had a lengthy operation with a foreign-body implant, along with ear and septal cartilage grafting. You're certainly swollen now which may be contributing to the "plastic" appearance of your nose.

Although it takes a full year or longer for all of your nasal swelling to resolve, revision rhinoplasty could be considered 6 months after your operation.

You may want to get a second opinion from another rhinoplasty specialist. Or consider posting photos here on RealSelf for the experts in this community to comment on.

I would say it is practically impossible to completely reverse the rhinoplasty procedure. It may be possible to get close to your original nose but there are effects of removing grafting material that can result in scar tissue, collapse, etc. That being said, there must have been some things you did not like about your original nose and it may be possible to reach a happy medium with a revision between what you have and what you like about your original nose. It is also best to wait one year before having a revision procedure.

It is not possible to go completely back to your original nose, but after you are finished healing (at least a year) if you are still unhappy you can consider a revisino rhinoplasty.  However, keep in mind you are only 3 weeks post surgery and need to give time for the swelling to go down and see the final result.
