Can a revision rhinoplasty help restore my natural nose?

December 14, 2021
Asked By:Bright407098 in Sanger, California

I had a septorhinoplasty and I’m unhappy with the cosmetic portion of my procedure. I had a dorsal hump that I wanted very slightly reduced. I wanted a very subtle change but feel that too much cartilage was removed. I don’t like the scooped bridge and pointy nasal tip. From the front view there is too much nostril show and the nasal tip is too high. I also don’t like that my columella was refined and tucked in. Can my natural nose be restored with revision rhinoplasty?

Ultrasonic vs original method for rhinoplasty - which is better?
Oakley Smith, MD, FRCSC says:

Thank you for your question. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty refers to the way in which the bone is cut - using an ultrasonic cutting device instead of an osteotome. It should not affect the way a profile looks and is unlikely to be the reason for your result. I recommend having a discussion with your...
