Still swollen two years post revision rhinoplasty - how can I make my nose smaller? (Photos)

But at this point, after two operations and a graft, the surgeon really would need to examine you in person in order to tell what can be accomplished and whether it would make enough improvement to make you happy. He would have to examine the nose, and the inside, and *feel* it so he has an idea of what cartilages are where and what size they are. That's usually how we decide on a good plan.

Don't have filler -- you'll hate it. I've never understood the idea of making a nose bigger (with filler) in order to make the nose *look* smaller. I don't believe it.

You might have to commit to a visit out of town to find an expert who can help you.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a revision rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Fascial grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
