Nose too small/narrow/thin after primary rhinoplasty. Can I get my ethnic nose back? (photos)

July 20, 2023
Asked By:Icecream678 in Sanger, California

I had a rhinoplasty a few months back and the doctor performed lateral osteotomy, a little bit of hump removal, alarplasty reduction, and tip plasty with my own ear cartilage. My side view looks good but my front is very narrow and small compared to my birth nose. I dont recognize myself on the mirror as I look completely different. Im seekinf out for revision. Will it be possible to get a bit of my old ethnic nose back? I truly regret having it done

Answer: 3 months post-operative maybe too soon to be considering revision rhinoplasty surgery.

Bridge bigger than tip. Is it possibly the bone could be more swollen than the tip?
Steven M. Denenberg, MD says:

I think what you're noticing is that your nose seems long for your face, where "long" means the distance from where the nose begins, below the eyebrows, down along the bridge to the tip. Seems to me that if the tip were elevated, maybe substantially, it would correct much or all of what you're...
