I had rhinoplasty 16 years ago when I was 20 to remove a hump on my nose. Everything went well and my nose looked great initially. After a few months a hump delveloped that I now know to be Pollybeak. I'm considering a revision rhinoplasty but am concerned that it will happen again. I do develop keloid scars easily so it could be excess scar tissue that caused the pollybeak - will that just happen again?
Answer: Pollybeak deformity The short answer is: if done properly and by an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon, no, the pollybeak should not recur. It looks like the bottom half of your nasal bridge was under-resected and the nasal tip overrotated.

Answer: Pollybeak Assuming that the pollybeak was due to scar tissue formation, you would definitely want to make sure your surgeon has a plan on how to manage that if signs of it start to appear. Usually this means steroid injections. It could always happen again but this can be managed appropriately postop.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty is commonly performed for a poly beak. You probably liked your nasal appearance initially because your nose was swollen. As the swelling went down, you began to notice irregularities in the lower portion of your bridge. Depending on your examination, lowering of the bottom of your septum for a less distracting and more feminine nasal profile appearance may be considered. When a poly beak is corrected, it does not come back. Thank you for this question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

The best way to prevent a pollybeak deformity is to adequately support the tip during the revision. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result.
