Can I still keep a natural look with a revision rhinoplasty? Can I do it affordably? Can functionality be repaired too? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. Rasping of the bump is not difficult. It is also possible with revisional tip surgery to further project and define the nasal tip. In terms of function, the causes of nasal obstruction can occur in various areas such as septum, turbinate, and nasal valve, so for an accurate evaluation, you will need to visit the clinic and take some tests and CT scans.

Revision rhinoplasty is always more difficult than a primary rhinoplasty due to previous alterations to the normal anatomy, scar tissue, and three-dimensional processes of healing. It is possible to give a bit more of a slope to the bridge line, but you're only talking about a millimeter or two of improvement. Be very careful about lifting your tip up any higher, because it might look good from the side profile, but it'll it can look "Miss piggy" from the front profile. An in person examination is going to be required to figure out what's causing nasal obstruction such as a deviated nasal septum or turbinate hypertrophy. A constant nasal drip and diminished sense of smell may be more sinus related, which would require a CAT scan of your sinuses determine what's going on there. That's probably not related to the cosmetic rhinoplasty. Digital computer imaging of your nose would also be helpful in the education process to see what can be accomplished with your nose upon your facial features.
