Can revision surgery restore my nose's original proportions and flatten its shape? (Photo)

Asked By:Diligent783212 in Uhwiesen, Obwalden, Schweiz

Given that I was born with an abnormal nose missing cartilage on the radix and had a primary surgery to address breathing problems which resulted in my nose becoming very small and button-shaped, can a revision surgery restore the original proportions of my nose and make it flatter or given the current conditions of my nose would a second surgery not de advised?

We have had excellent success permanently camouflaging indentations in the nasal tip, and nasal cleft, after previous rhinoplasty surgery. We prefer to use silicon 1000, a permanent filler. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
