Is this achievable in revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Question

I have previously had a rhinoplasty. My doctor removed too much cartilage from my nose and now the two lines around the tip of my nose are too visible (too contoured) I know that a lot of people are after this look but I really want the tip of my nose to look like how it did before surgery. Is this achievable with remaining cartilage from the nose or ear? or should I kiss this dream goodbye? Thank you very much!

If you might consider a permanent non-surgical nose job, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 may be considered for adding permanent volume to your nasal tip and retracted nostril margins for a less operated nasal tip appearance. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Hello, and thank you for your question. Yes, revision rhinoplasty can address structural, functional, and aesthetic issues after rhinoplasty. However, revision rhinoplasty is an even more complex procedure than primary rhinoplasty. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. Such experts will have a deep understanding of the aesthetic and functional elements of the nose while having an eye for symmetry and balance. Your surgeon can properly assess your nose, discuss your concerns and goals, recommend the best approach, and help you achieve the best possible results.

I do like your nose prior to your surgery so I can see why you would like it to appear more similar to your preoperative photos.  You will need bilateral lateral crural strut grafts to reconstruct the alar contour you desire, and from what I can see in the dorsum, you may need bilateral spreader grafts as it appears to show an inverted V deformity.  All of these grafts can come from septal cartilage but if that is not available then rib graft would be the next best option

Hi, thank you for your question. The tip may be changed with soft tissue or crushed cartilages.. also, I see an axis deviation at one side..Best. Dr Cem Altindag
