I have had the worst rhinoplasty i could possibly had. I am a 20year old male who had a medium long attractive nose. And considered by most to be very goodlucking. Then i had made the stupidiest decision under-going rhinoplasty (for small bump) and septoplasty. Now my nose is sooo small,no bridge and very big nostrils. I have been waitng for revision rhinoplasty 4 7months and cant wait any longer. I havnt seen any of my friends for six months,i have been hiding and travelling far from home to work. And life is really hard. Researching rhinoplasty i havnt even seen any good nose work And i am really concerned. And i am very desperate and worked hard to save up day and night

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty I am very sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with your rhinoplasty results. Have you spoken with you surgeon? Revision rhinoplasty cases are challenging and I wouldn't be able to give you an answer without carefully and thoroughly reviewing your results. Swelling may still be present, making it unwise to move forward with a revision this early on. I would recommend looking for a surgeon who specializes in revisions.To learn more about revision rhinoplasty cases, check out this short video. Best of luck,

Answer: Is 7 months too soon for a revision? I'm truly sorry about your bad rhinoplasty result. A very high percentage of my practice is revision rhinoplasties. I know how you feel having treated many "botch" patients for over 30 years. Without seeing photographs, it appears your dorsum was over resected which may require cartilage grafting (more than simple fillers) for augmentation. I prefer to wait a year but have done revisions earlier on select patients and special situations. I have photographs of similar patients on my web site and on Real Self.

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty In my NYC practice, I frequently see patients who are displeased with their results from other surgeons. While the rule of thumb is to wait a full year to determine whether or not a patient is a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty, the truth is that determination is done on a case-by-case basis. In other words, there are some outcomes that are obviously not going to improve with time, whereas other cases that require waiting. Revision rhinoplasty is widely known as one of the most technical and challenging procedures to perform. Your surgeon should be board certified, specialize in revision rhinoplasty, have an extensive knowledge of nasal structures, be meticulous and thorough, and have decades of experience. There are circumstances where revision rhinoplasty can actually cause more damage than good, so it is important to seek a skilled board certified plastic surgeon who is able to identify what’s best for you.
