Can you fix a collapsed nasal bone with revision? Recommend some very good revision surgeons that may be able to fix it (Photo)

Revision rhinoplasty is all about restoring structure and support.  A collapsed nasal bridge may be repaired by placing visible spreader grafts and coverage with overlying diced cartilage grafts.  This will both restore a smooth aesthetic contour for top and front of the nose and ensure that your breathing is not compromised.  However, it is important to allow enough time for the nose to heal from the first procedure before having revision.  3 months is still too soon for a revision.   I usually recommend a full year or at least six months of recovery before revision.  In the mean time, if the deformity is obvious, it can be temporarily corrected and hidden with an injectable filler.  

Dear alli_104,

Thank you for your clinical post and
photographs. It does appear from the
photographs that there is a sidewall, collapse or indentation and this is a
known complication of a reduction rhinoplasty surgery. Three months is too early for revision,
however, a soft tissue filler injectable in the area of the collapse and on the
bridge can camouflage this nicely.
Injectable rhinoplasty following surgical rhinoplasty, camouflage
raised, elevated nasal bones or collapsed nasal bones during the healing
phase. As the injectable lasts 7 or 8
months by the time the injectable is gone you would be in a post-operative
state that would facilitate surgical revision.
Generally, surgical revision revolves refracturing the nasal bones
and outfracturing them or reducing the collapse and generally this is
successful.

A visit with your plastic surgeon to
discuss these issues or another plastic surgeon that can offer some
alternatives is likely your next best choice.

I hope this information is of some
assistance and best of luck.
