I got a tip plasty 4 years ago and the swelling was hell. No interventions and the (top nyc) doctor said it was because of spongy skin that the results were less than ideal. Finding it had to trust anyone after this experience. Should I try to fix this? Very bulbous and misshapen.
I have had two revision rhinoplasties and am interested in getting my tip revised. Currently it is drooping and boxy. I would like the tip angle increased. My last revision was over 2 years ago and included a cartilage graft. Is this possible to have the tip done under a local anesthesia and who would do it in southern california?
I had a tip plasty performed a year ago. The doctor did not touch my bridge and used septum cartilage to support my tip. I have noticed unevenness on my left nostril, and also what it looks like scar tissue (little bumps) inside my left nostril. Though I know that perfect symmetry is unrealistic, would it be possible to improve the appearance on my left nostril? I have my 1 year post op appointment soon but would like some suggestions regarding the unevenness on my nostrils. Thank you!
Dear Dr. I hope you're doing well. Following my rhinoplasty + septoplasty three years ago, a pimple-like structure has appeared on the tip of my nose, causing asymmetry. Despite a 10-minute tip revision last year, the problem persists. Would steroid injections be a viable solution? Your advice on the next steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jeff
Hello I did rhinoplasty and septoplasty about two months ago, but I am not at all satisfied with the shape of my nose and my face has become ugly because the tip of my nose is damaged and it is very high. My question is, at least how much more time can I do tipplasty? Because I got depressed. Do I really have to wait 6 months to a year?
I had my primary rhinoplasty to reduce a dorsal hump and fix my deviated septum, my surgeon did tip refinements to fix my bulbous tip. I was super self conscious about my side profile before and now I am even more because my nose looks longer in my opinion. I'm still early on in my recovery process but I feel so devastated with my results, I don't think it's that much swelling that is making my nose so long, I need advice please.
Hi! I had tipplasty 1 year ago. Asked for subtle changes, the surgeon did a cephalic trim on my left side and adjusted my tip to align it with my right. I have thin skin and cartilage is showing through now that the swelling is gone. Surgeon now wants to pull my tip points closer together, do some more cephalic trimming on both sides and also use perichondrium or diced cartilage to camouflage irregularities. I like my nose in 3/4 profile and want it slightly up/supratip break.Appreciate any help
Hi Doctors I've had 2 rhinoplasties (2017 & 2019) and I regret the second one. After the first, I liked the front view of my face, but there was a slight curve. I thought a second could fix it, but it resulted in a more bulbous tip. I feel like the tip volume doesn't look right with my face. Can I get a tip rhinoplasty only? I don't want major changes as it has affected my self-confidence. The tip is the biggest concern for me, and I just want to slim it out without drastically altering my nose.
Hi docs, I've done rhinoplasty procedure overseas where the surgeon put size 7 gore tex in my nose. I also has tip plasty done at the time. Rhino was done less than 4 months ago. I'd like the gore tex to be removed completely with no replacement at all and keep the tip plasty as is.Can the size 7 gore tex implant be removed by closed approach and without affecting the tip plasty? What is usually the preferred method? Thanks again docs!
About 1.5 years post revision tip plasty and a few months into a stressful routine and family situation as well as 6 months post vaccine (for context) I developed a cold intolerance on my nose. The skin gets cold so easily and feels tight and constricted. It happens in anything below 74 degrees but can happen even when Im working out and my body is hot. Its ruining my life. The appearance of the nose looks worse but feels awful. What can I do? I refuse being a rare case with chronic issues.
