I've had three previous rhinoplasty operations (2006, 2007 & 2018). None of the surgeons have been successful in straightening my tip. Could there be a reason why? I'm happy with my profile, I'd just like the tip straight. I'll upload two images; one of how it is currently and one is what I'd like. Also, if this is possible, would it be the cost of a standard rhinoplasty? Any advice would be much appreciated :)

Answer: Straightening a nose Thank you for your question. Fixing a crooked or twisted nose is one of the biggest challenges for any rhinoplasty surgeon. The issue is that cartilage has memory, so your septum is going back to the same side after surgery. In cases like this, sometimes it is best to remove the crooked septum entirely, and replace it with cartilage that is straight, often from rib. Typically the cost of this procedure will be more than a standard rhinoplasty because it takes much longer. I hope this information is helpful, and all the best!

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Hi Victoria, thank you for your question. Your expectations are normal. It would be difficult surgery. A fourth (revision) rhinoplasty also may be planned although it has risks. It appears that; Rib cartilage graft (your own) would be ideal graft material. Regards.
