I had rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago. The doctor raised my bridge with permacol and tip with ear+septal cartilage but I am not happy with the plastic look of my nose and all I want is having my old nose back. I am just wondering if it is possible to reverse the surgery, i.e to remove whatever the doctor put in my nose without getting the nose collased or deformed. If possible, is it a complicated procedure and considered as a revision or is it just simply removing grafts? Can I have this done ASAP? Tha
Answer: Rhinoplasty redo
Patience, time, relaxation. I understand your concern. There is always post-operative swelling. Some patients have more than others. I think it would be fair to believe that you discussed what you wanted with your rhinoplasty surgeon prior to surgery. After the surgery, a similar conversation probably occurred and what was the result of that conversation? Did the surgeon perform what he/she said they were going to do? Were the in-operative tasks accomplished?
What did your surgeon say about reversing the procedure? Sure, you can have reoperation at this time but most would recommend that you wait until after the post-operative healing period. You may like your new nose.

Answer: Reverse rhinoplasty
You need to slow down here. This was not a haircut and you shouldn't think of it that way by so quickly asking for your old nose back. You are way early in the healing process. You need to let the swelling subside and healing progress for a few months and get used to the new appearance. Don't try to make a decision like this for at least 6-9 months.
