My nose tip is too narrow after a revision rhinoplasty, is there a way to add volume back? (Photos)

Question

I had revision rhinoplasty a month ago to change out my nose implant for a smaller one, define my nose tip and fix my hanging columella. Now I feel like my nose looks too small and narrow for my face. From the front, my nose shape is more like a thin rectangle than the ideal triangle shape. When I smile, my nostrils have an odd shape - almost like MJ’s nose. It looks very unnatural. Is there a way to add volume back to my nose tip? Fillers? Grafts? How long do I need to wait for each option.

Thanks for the question. I think that one month after rhinoplasty is too soon to make any conclusions. It will continue to change. I suggest talking to your surgeon to find out options for further treatment, if necessary. Good luck as you heal!

One month post op is too soon to judge your result.  Heal for 6 months to a year, then have your surgeon evaluate your nose.

At one months it is impossible to evaluate the results of your revision surgery. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon as healing progresses.
