Revision Rhinoplasty.

I’ve been shielding due to immunosuppressive medication and this has resulted in too much time looking in the mirror and being sad about my revision results. If only I could go back and not do it. I’m aware my results aren’t awful, but know my bridge is just too low. I long for the straighter profile I had after my primary. Considering fillers as suggested by James but this is only a short term fix which I will have to commit to forever. The whole point of undergoing a surgical rhinoplasty is because I wanted a long term fix without the repeated expense and commitment of fillers.

I requested a follow up appointment to express my concerns. Mr Mcdiarmid did agree that there was an area which was about 1mm lower than planned. We discussed what could be done and he said going in for another surgery would be a bit risky and would involve taking a bit of ear cartilage and grafting it in, but I might then end up with it showing through as my skin is thin. I don’t think I want to risk it again anyway as I do kind of regret even going for a revision for a tiny residual bump.
Mr Mcdiarmid then want on to discuss the possibility of using a temporary filler to add the 1mm height needed to get my preferred result. He discussed what this would involve and said I would only have to pay the cost of the filler and not for his time. These fillers can last 3-12 months so would be something that I would have to repeatedly have done. I do appreciate him offering his and it is something for me to think about. A non surgical approach is obviously less risky than a surgical rhinoplasty, but still does carry some risks which I am unsure at this moment in time if I want to go down that route.
I do feel my nose is still settling into its final shape and i am getting used to the more sloped look. It has only been 6 months post revision. I think I’m going to give myself more time to heal and then decide if it bothers me enough to spend more time and money chasing a near perfect result.
I still stand by my initial review and do not regret one bit embarking on this journey. I am still so much more confident than I ever was with my natural shape nose. I would still very much recommend Mr Mcdiarmid and my only advise would be don’t put yourself through a revision if you are almost totally satisfied with your primary rhinoplasty.
