Over projected tip. Should I be looking into a revision? (Photo)

Question

I got a nose job 6 months ago and as you can see, too much cartilage was taken off from my dorsum a in order to build my tip that lacked cartilage. Now I have a tip that’s too projected and a bridge that doesn’t match the tip. Am I able to get a more harmonious and less curved nose? And will this require a rib graft? Is there any possibility of the tip becoming shorter throughout the healing process, or should I already be looking into revision?

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question, a nose that is more compatible with your face and that you want can be achieved with a single surgery, for this I recommend revision rhinoplasty operation.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Depending on your examination, the easiest way to increase the projection of your bridge to achieve a more harmonious nasal profile appearance would be injectable fillers .The main issue I see is a bridge that is a drop too low. I think you would be surprised how adding volume to your bridge would get you close to your goals. Please consider Consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who could offer computer Imaging, and review your history, and examine your nose, and make appropriate recommendations for you moving forward. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

I would recommend having a very upfront conversation with your original surgeon. No one will ever know exactly what is going on in your nose as much as the surgeon who created the current aesthetic you are seeing. A small revision can sometimes be performed to address the excessive tip projection. In my personal opinion, this nose needs a complete revision with rib cartilage to deproject and debulk that excessive tip. I would find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. I always tell prospective patients to look at the plastic surgeon's training (ideally a 6 year integrated plastic surgery residency and a 1 year aesthetic fellowship accredited by The Aesthetic Society). In addition, examine before/after photos on social media platforms. I would also look at Google or RealSelf reviews. This will help you get a comprehensive understanding of your provider.
