How concerned should I be about my swelling and scar tissue? 13 months postop (Photo)

Asked By:Exciting613013 in San Diego, California

I got my first revision rhinoplasty June 2023 in Turkey. I wanted my bridge to be narrower and my nose to be less bulbous. Immediate postop pics looked good and it looked good after 2-3 months but then the bridge began to look wider. I've taken adderall since then and I'm also worried I ruined it by picking. I got steroid injections in june + september should i get more?Here's preop pics, immediate postop, 2 months postop, 7 months postop, and 13 months postop

Nose still downward turned after revision? (Photo)

In the revision operations that I perform, the most common problem is that the nose was left too long in the previous operation(s). Plastic surgeons are often taught that it's "easy" to elevate a tip (just shorten the septum, do some other stuff), but in fact, shortening a nose--raising the...

What can be done to help me achieve a cleaner and more natural appearing nose? (photo)
Steven M. Denenberg, MD says:
