How long do I have to wait to have a second rhinoplasty I had ask doctor to raise my tip and round it out but nose is still too big and pointy
Answer: Rhinoplasty If your nose starts off too long there are strategies to shorten it which are pretty simple. Your nose was either not shortened enough or dropped down over time. In either case the solution is surprisingly simple and doesn’t involve redoing the entire job. Cartilage and nasal lining need to be removed from the lower end of the septum. This sometimes either not done or done too conservatively. An easy correction.

Answer: Is it time to consider revision rhinoplasty? The standard waiting period before considering revision rhinoplasty is one full year after your initial procedure. If you are unhappy with your results at that point, I advise you to find a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in performing revision procedures. The second surgery is often much more complex than the first, and requires a tremendous degree of expertise and artistry to produce the best possible result.

Answer: Persistent downturned tip after rhinoplasty In general we recommend waiting 1 year after your prior surgery before having a revision. This allow the nose to heal more and for the internal scar tissue to soften.You'd want to get a fully nasal assessment to determine your best options, but it should be possible to raise your tip a bit compared to where it is now.You can learn about droopy tip repair at my web reference link below.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Yes, it appears that your tip still needs to be raised and rotated. Without lateral views, it's hard to say if the bridge needs to be raised, but it certainly looks like the bony bridge was reduced. Since the bridge is a minor support structure for the nasal tip, it is easy to see that reducing it could make it more difficult for the tip to remain raised. Otherwise, there are several powerful techniques that we use to raise, rotate and stabilize the tip. And making it less angular and rounder is also pretty straightforward.

Answer: Nose long and pointing down after rhinoplasty: solutions? You have a common outcome of rhinoplasty where the dorsum was lowered (easy) bit the tip was not deprojected which many surgeons find more difficult. You need to wait 12-18 months before revision for optimal results, and choose a surgeon who can show you before and after pictures of noses similar to yours. Also rely on reviews credentials and ample examples of experience with revision rhinoplasty.
