Do I need a revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Nurturing40708Jul 11, 2024

I have just had a rhinoplasty done about two and a half weeks ago. Had a look inside my nasal cavity and found a white fan shaped wbite protrusion. Is this an exposed cartilage? And so I need a revision rhinoplasty?

This depends too much on how you look and what your goal is. Ear cartilage is, all thinks considered, a small amount of cartilage. If you are just trying to build up a little, then that could be enough, but if you are trying to build up a substnatial amount, most likely it will not be enough...

Hello and thank you for your question. It is difficult to give accurate advice without evaluating true pictures of your nose. But based on your description alone, it sounds like you may be asking about a high set radix which obscures the nasal-frontal junction. This could be revised during a...
