Should thick skin have a tip definition revision rhinoplasty?

Cool727069Aug 3, 2023
Hello doctors, I'm 11 months post rhinoplasty, I have thick skin, I had my first rhinoplasty this year and I reduced the hump on my nose and refined the tip and made less droopy from the front, at first it was good then I started noticing that the nose becomes softer and less tight but at the same time my tip became bigger and wider than the first 3 months post rhinoplasty, and it makes anxious that it won't be thiner, should I have a revision even though I'm thick skin ?

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photo you cartilage might be dislocate after the surgery and it may be the reason of this image in your septum. It would be better to talk with your surgeon about it. Best Regards!

Alar composite grafts from the ear are good option to lower retracted nostrils. However, to use a composite graft to interpose it to increase the circumference of the nostrils is less predictable and can result in noticeable scarring and irregularity. I hope this helps, best of luck !
