Can Rhinoplasties/Revisions be done without Diamond Tips, Extension grafts, projection? (Photos)

It seems rhinoplasties always have pointy tips, extension grafts that project the tip. Is there no way to keep the tip leveled and not drooping more than natural without any of that? In natural noses it seems the columella ends and the tip begins right away. I had a very regrettable, impulsive rhinopla done in 2019 that left me with ID loss. So i found someone who could try to reverse it as much as possible. My nose still has pointy cartilage in the tip and sits a bit far from my face on profile view and I want it flatter and closer to my face. I will attach photos of birth nose and current. Is it possible to go back to a rounded blunt tip with no projection other than what was and no exten grafts?

Hello and thank you for your question. I don’t recommend having rasping performed under local anesthesia. This will usually make the nose look better for 1-2 months and then it will actually get much worse long-term afterwards, with contour irregularities developing. This is because the skin o...

Two surgeons have run out of road on your nose, and a third rhinoplasty is reasonable. This is revision territory, not general or ENT territory. Find a revision-specific rhinoplasty surgeon. A few planning points. Your septum was likely raided for grafts the first two times, so the source for...

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, it is hard to make a recommendation. Additional views are definitely needed to give the best advice. A true side lateral profile view would be helpfu. Make sure you are going to a surgeon with hundreds of long-term before and...

Based on your photos, the issue looks to be a combination of a bony callous that can form after surgery combined with a little over resection of the rest of the bridge. These issues can be balanced out nicely with revision rhinoplasty. The middle third of the nose can be improved to also help...

Hello, I'm sorry to hear that your original surgery may not have met your expectations. Rhinoplasty, especially revision rhinoplasty, is a challenging surgery and rarely is ever straightforward--especially with revisions. Performing nasal tip deprojection is a complicated maneuver but...

Hi thank you so much for your question and sharing your photos! At 1.5yr postop from septorhinoplasty, most, if not all, swelling has finally resolved. It's difficult to determine what that bump would be without feeling that area, but a bump that prominent would likely be either scar tissue or...
