I had rhinoplasty 10 years ago. And I absolutely loved my nose. But over the years, I notice a bump on my right side and caved on the right. Making my nose appear crooked, and have a beakish appearance. Do I need to seek revision rhinoplasty to fix this? I love my nose looking straight on, so I'm not looking for a drastic change.

Answer: Rhinoplasty revision? Thank you for your question, and excellent photos. The paired Alar cartilages define the tip of the nose, and provide its shape. The rest of your nose looks very good. Even after a successful rhinoplasty, scar tissue formation and the passage of time, can shift the position of these small cartilage elements. A Tip Rhinoplasty approach can be used to reposition the alar cartilages without changing the good shape of your upper nose.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Hi there, thank you for sharing your photos and question. It appears that over time the cartilages in the tip of your nose have shifted in position. This tends to happen due to the inherent strength of the cartilages and due to progressive contraction of the skin. A revision surgery would be the best option to strengthen and improve the match in shape of the nasal tip and of the nasal cartilages. Hope this helps. Good luck!
