Professional opinions on unsatisfactory revision rhinoplasty result 13 months post-op? (Photos)

Question

I had a revision rhinoplasty in March 2022 to correct an over projected tip from the primary rhinoplasty. It has now been 13 months and the nose doesn’t look right at all, it is sticking out on one side and this is creating an unsightly shadow/dent/depression on one side. The nose also appears to be slanting to one side and is very bulbous/has no definition. Overall I am very unhappy with this result and would like other professional opinions. The nostrils are also uneven and slanting.

Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case from the photos you provided. Your nose tip has no definition and it is really uneven. I recommend you a revision rhinoplasty. You will most probably need rib cartilage (and maybe extended graft) to reshape especially the tip.Best regards!

Based on your photos, you appear to have thin nasal skin and some slight irregularities related to the lower 1/3 of your nose. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for improving nostril symmetry and for adding volume to small depressions that may be on the Bridge and tip of your nose. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

I'm sorry to hear that you're not satisfied with the result of your revision rhinoplasty. It's important to address any concerns or issues with your surgeon as soon as possible. They may be able to provide you with solutions or recommendations to improve the appearance of your nose.

In addition to speaking with your surgeon, it may be helpful to seek a second opinion from another qualified and experienced facial plastic surgeon or ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgeon. They can examine your nose and provide their professional opinion on the issue.

It's possible that additional revision surgery may be necessary to correct the issues with your nose. However, it's important to carefully weigh the risks and benefits of additional surgery and to have realistic expectations for the outcome. It's also important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon who has a proven track record of successful revision rhinoplasty surgeries.

In the meantime, if you're experiencing depression or anxiety related to the appearance of your nose, it may be helpful to seek support from a mental health professional. They can provide you with coping strategies and support during this difficult time.

Best of luck !
