Should I get revision in my nose-tip? Upturned nose (Photo)

Question

Hi, 15 months ago I had a rhinoplasty I am happy with the result so far but the tip of my nose I think is slightly raised my surgeon could adjust this she says but I wondered whether or not I should do it because of with the risks my question is actually is it possible to get my nose tip down a bit more. I deliberately waited a year to see if the result is what I would like, but every day I struggle to accept how it is now I don't really recognize myself because you can see my nostrils

Hello Ms. Lianne! First of all thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case regarding the information you provided and the photos. Your nose looks fine indeed most of the patients would not go for a revision surgery. However, if you wish, the tip rotation can be decreased with cartilage grafting that can be harvested from the nose but if there is not enough, should be harvested from ear or rib which you should decide by considering the pros and cons.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

First of all, you are a pretty girl and you had a nice result. If one suggestion can be made it’s a bit over rotated. If that’s what bothering you, set a revision rhinoplasty with septal extension graft.

Of course, consult with an expert in revision rhinoplasty.

Best of luck,

Randal Haworth
