Can a revision fix my ski-slope nose? Would fillers work? (photos)

Question

I had my primary rhinoplasty last year, and the tip is severely over-rotated and pointy. I cannot stand looking at it, and was wondering if work could be done to just round the tip? i don't mind the slope, i just want this pointiness gone. would fillers work to fix this too?

Richard Mark Winters, MD · Answer

although yours is an extreme example, the most common post-rhinoplasty deformity I see in my revision rhinoplasty practice consists of an over-resected dorsum and an over-rotated tip.... nature hates a vacuum, so your tip rotated up when the cartilage above it was removed and left unsupported... your issues are accentuated by the fact that your tip defining points are very high making you appear even more rotated

you need dorsal support and lengthening with spreader grafts, as well as a septal extension graft to adjust and control your tip.... just make sure you go to someone with years of experience, has a practice focused on rhinoplasty and a predilection toward revisions

good luck
