Should I get a revision rhinoplasty? Exposed cartilage (Photo)

Question

I had my second rhinoplasty 10 months ago. I noticed that a line of cartilage is showing inside my nose, the goretex implant doesn't look centered (could be just swelling), and my nose looks unnatural. I asked the doctor and he said that it will close as it heals? Is it true? If revision is recommended, how should it be fixed and when?

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photo your dorsum thinned too much by your surgeon and it gives you a unnatural looking. Also your nostrils seem collapsed. For get rid of this image and gain more natural looking I recommend you revision rhinoplasty surgery. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

The photo of the inside of your nose on the right side may show a deviated nasal septum, however, the pink color may indicate that your septum is covered by mucous membrane. You have somewhat of an irregular bridge appearance on front view. If you would consider bridge widening and filling in of indentations, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections might be considered for achieving a less operated nasal appearance. I hope this helps!
