Seven years post-primary rhinoplasty for dorsal hump reduction left me with an over-rotated piggy tip. A revision using rib cartilage (harvested via 8 cm incision by a thoracic surgeon) provided minimal radix augmentation and no tip improvement. Key questions: Does large incision/non-plastic surgeon suggest technical issues? Can another revision de-rotate the tip and restore a natural profile?Are grafts/tissue expansion viable for reconstruction despite limited skin? Thank you.
how hard is it to take out the shield graft and just get a soft feminine tip, how hard is it to reverse the heightening of my radix which was done with bone drilling or diced cartilage wrapped in fascia, not sure which technique was used. the last picture is my old nose with a nice soft tip and lower radix, i just want my old nose back
I got a surgery done in turkey. Semi regret it. He did a good job fixing some things but did things I didnt ask for. When I see photos of my nose I notice how Romanesque it looks. And it looks super long. What can we do to give this nose a cleaner more natural look? Can we reduce the radix? Also the nasal walls shadows by the radic make the upper third of the nasal bridge look super prominent and further enhances the Romanesque look. What can be done. What is possible ?
11 months back I had secondary rhinoplasty to correct tip deviation , asymmetry alar rims & radix volume. after revision I don't feel fruitful results rather I feel depressed due to worse of alar rims shape. No rib or ear graft used till now. My intention is to have symmetry alar rims & that alar rims shape must be to original shape if not give it semi 6 circle shape & add a bit of width for overall size of nose. I see deviation right side & left side at moustache. GUIDE.
I had a septoplasty last year and told my surgeon I didn't want my nose to change and to keep my convexity. She then proceeded to completely remove my dorsal hump and radix. I just want my old nose back. The tip of my nose was completely untouched during the surgery if that helps the cause. I made sure she didn't touch my tip.
The donor dermis on my radix is too high is narrow looking making my face look out of proportion. I've been waiting for a very long time to get it safely removed. I'm told that my original radix cartilage was not shaved down. What are the chances, I will still have my old bridge? (I want my old bridge back)
Hello! I'm considering revision rhinoplasty for augmentation of my radix, my bridge is already aligned with my radix (my profile is straight) but because my radix is deep I feel like my nose is too close to my face, my question is if it's possible to only augment the radix or if I would need to augment both bridge+ radix, also is it difficult to do both as opposed to only one and if it increases the cartilage requirements as well as the prices too much. Thank you!
I got septorhinoplasty 2years back but since then my nasal bridge is not sharp as before and in side profile it looks curvy and depressed .Should i consider getting radix augmentation or is it fine and just in the mind
had a rhinoplasty a month ago. Extremely upset as the surgeon did not fix my concerns. My concerns are: the radix feels too high, the size is about the same except a bit straighter. But I can ensure it is almost the same size as it was before. The only difference is no hump & no dropping tip. I have emphasized many times that I want it as small as possible. I am considering a revision. How soon can I get one?
Desperately battelling with my life for the past 6 years after a botched rhinoplasty. I had to wait 3 years before doing the 4th revision. We improved the dorsum and needed to do a radix augmentafion because it was still too low. My surgeon placed a radix graft, and after 6-7 month I started to notice the graft under my skin become more visible. What can I do to keep my radix high without the graft being visible? fillers might help conceal it but I don't want to do this every year.
