Dorsal hump 1 year post revision rhinoplasty - will I need a third surgery?

S
Sar13Apr 10, 2024

I had a primary rhinoplasty done October 2021 to reduce a very prominent dorsal hump. My surgeon assured me he had removed the hump and given me a nice slope. Over a year post op, I was unhappy with how my nose still had a hump so I underwent a closed revision to further reduce the hump with the same surgeon. Now a year post revision, the hump is much smaller but still there. When I press firmly on it or apply tape it seems to flatten… is this still swelling or will I need a third surgery?

It is impossible to make recommendations for you based on the two singular photos that you posted. I understand that you feel that your tip is wider after surgery, however, you do not have an operated nasal appearance. Perhaps considering asking you a question with side-by-side before and after...

I tried zooming in as much as my computer would allow, and you appear to have a pleasing nasal appearance. If you have a small and pinched nasal tip appearance, sometimes we can improve upon this with a few droplets of Silikon 1000. This adds permanent volume to the tip of somebody's nose if it...

The base view of your nose may be difficult to correct, however, if you would be satisfied having your left nostril lowered so it is more symmetrical on front view compared to your right side, microdroplet Silikon 1000 injections may be considered. Thank you so much for your question and I hope...

1st - you should talk to your surgeon and see what could be going on. She should be the one guiding you on all of this. If you aren't getting anywhere with your surgeon, then the next steps are to find someone you CAN trust to figure out what to do. Most likely you ought to start with an exam...

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from debulking the infralobular tip of your nose. This is the area you are referring to below your tip. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you...

Indeed, the tip looks a bit wide to me, and not all that dissimilar to the photos you posted here before your primary. That tends to suggest that not enough was done to narrow your tip, and perhaps more can be done. Everything gets harder after two rhinoplasties. I'm wondering why you're in this...
