I’m 6 months post op and I feel like there’s excessive nostril show from both the front and the side of my nose. Is this the surgeons fault or just the anatomy of my nose? Should I start looking at revision rhinoplasty because I’m just overall disappointed with my nose? Could I complain to the surgeon? Is it his fault?
Answer: Dear Celebrated980894 Dear Celebrated980894,The images you have provided give a little information about the condition of your nose. You appear to have an inverted 'V' deformity, asymmetry of the tip, and a general lack of structure especially visible in the photo of the lower part of your nose and columella.My thoughts are that this would required a surgical approach to improve. The work will require reconstructing the structure of your nose to give it shape and function (which I suspect is also impaired).All the best, Waseem Saeed

Answer: Rhinoplasty recovery: what you should know Thank you for your question and photo. Though much of the swelling is reduced within four months, your nose will be in a phase of recovery for at least one year following your rhinoplasty procedure. It is generally suggested to wait until this entire recovery process is complete to see the final results before considering a revision procedure. If you’re still unsatisfied with your results at that time, revision rhinoplasty can address the appearance of your nostrils and create a more symmetrical result.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photo you provided it looks like there is no definition especially on the tip. Your nostrils look uneven and the tip is bulbous. If you are not happy with your result, you can consider a revision surgery with an experienced doctor who has done many revision cases.Best regards!

Answer: Sometimes asymmetries at the base of the nose take a full year to improve Unfortunately, it is impossible to comment on the feasibility of revision Rhinoplasty Without at least examining before and after photos. Consider re-asking your question with before and after photos. And definitely be patient since the base of the nose holds on to swelling for the longest. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty It's difficult to determine the cause of the excessive nostril show in your nose without a physical examination and consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. However, it's important to keep in mind that post-operative swelling can take up to a year to fully resolve, and it's possible that the appearance of your nose will improve with time.
