Question

Can revision rhinoplasty address this area of my nose? Cartilage was removed at what I think it is called alar, during the procedure, and it now appears sunken.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your limited photograph, you may benefit from a revision with placement of an alar contour graft.  Additional photos would be helpful in evaluating this. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question It will be possible to make an accurate evaluation if you can send your photos in a better light at 95 degree angles from the front and side profile.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Yes is the short answer. This type of deformity is fixed quite regularly with revision rhinoplasty techniques that include use of cartilage grafts to help 'efface' the depressed area. Make sure you go to a board certified expert with dedicated experience in revision rhinoplasty.

If you are breathing well through your nose, and if you're only concerned is a deepened crease of your right ala, microdroplet Silikon-1000 nasal injections may be considered for permanently filling this area, and for improving the appearance of your nose. This would not improve upon your nasal breathing. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
