I had a closed rhinoplasty. I used to have a long nose and now it's short. I asked the doctor how he made the tip look rotated and he said he placed a columnar strut. Would removing this strut and sutures in revision make the nose back to its original length and shape? I really hate having a short nose and would like my nose back to its original size! I don't like seeing up my nostrils when I look in the mirror :(

Answer: Overturned nose after rhinoplasty If you had surgery recently (six months lot less) the tip may still drop. However if the nose was shortened too much, it will not get back to its original position.If you are past the six month march, I would not expect major changes in the tips angle.Revision surgery can be performed, I would remove the strut, and reposition your nose, both in terms of length and rotation, with different types of grafts.Your current results can be corrected in the hands of an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, and with an open rhinoplasty approach.Good Luck,

Answer: Nose lengthening Rhinoplasty revisions can be complicated so be sure that he surgeon you choose has a large experience in revision surgery. Digital imaging can be helpful to communicate with your surgeon your desires. Be sure to wait at least a year between surgeries.
