Im in my late twenties and has initial rhinoplasty 5.5 years ago. Ive been wanting a revision rhinoplasty for a few years but I always wanted to be 100% sure before I took the next step and actually sought it out. Two surgeons I really admired both recommended against me getting a revision rhinoplasty (both had only seen photos, though Im sure for an experienced eye that might be enough) without asking me what my wishes were. What are your toughts
Which board would best qualify a revision rhinoplasty surgeon for a 2nd revision from an original revision 20 years ago? I'm told my case would be complicated. I have nostril margin asymmetry, deviated septum, pinching in tip, over rotation, thin skin, crooked columella asymmetrical tip. I've seen:American Board of Plastic Surgery, Board of Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, Head and neck (ont.),ENT's, maybe others! Should I look for someone double or triple certified?
Is there a way to round the tip and columella more? I hate how straight it is. I told my doctor I didnt want that but he did it anyway based on his preference of what looks good. I think it looks unnatural. I have thin skin so I was going to get another surgery to add fascia and nano fat. Would that help? My nostrils are retracted (naturally and worsened through primary surgery) but the columella was angled in a straight out way after my secondary. I hate it. This journey has been a disaster.
I am going to have revision rhinoplasty. I had my first septorhinoplasty June of 2022. My tip is not straight and I have redeviation with dorsal hump. Can I successfully have desired improvement with closed surgery and with my thin skin is it possible to aesthetically get a straighter appearance?
I had a revision rhinoplasty about 6 months ago, before the swelling went down it was looking great but now Im noticing this area around my nasal bone that looks funny. I was told that I have tissue paper thin skin in my consultation to get a revision I just hoped that a revision would have fixed this issue. It looks like an inverted v, people say they dont notice it but I do and its bothering me. I appreciate any help understanding. Thank you
Hi, I had a septoplasty plus reduction of nasal turbinates 6 month ago. Im female and having thin skin, i had a nasal hump that was removed and a devieated septum. As im healing I notice that there is a dent in one side of my nose it is very visible and looks like ive been punched I disscused it with my surgeon he said ya I can see that but we can fix it with fillers. As long as iknow fillers are not permanent fix. He also said lets hope it fixes it self. But it is getting wors and more visibl.
Wondering if I need a revision or if Im being too picky. Doctor did an open rhinoplasty on my naturally upturned nose to lengthen it with septum cartilage. Corrected hanging columella and hump. Told doc that front view was most important to me. I wanted less nostril visibility and defined/contoured tip. Is this swelling even though my skin is thin? Still seems short and bulbous from front. Profile looks good. Doc said he would narrow the bridge as revision but didnt address the bulbous tip.
I've had revision rhinoplasty a few years ago, but due to my thin skin, the implant (goretex) on my nose bridge appears obvious; the implant's outline can be seen. My radix to dorsum is reddish and has spider veins. I've read that some surgeons are using dermofat for revision rhinoplasty, this is to achieve a more natural look. What are the pros and cons of dermofat? Is this something that you would recommend? Is there a better alternative to dermofat?
I am a 25 year old Caucasian female with thin/oily skin. I underwent a septorhinoplasty in 2018. The surgeon removed too much cartilage and attempted to build the tip of my nose with some sort of graft that is now visible on the tip. My nose is beginning to twist. Too much was shaved off my bridge and underlying curvature is now visible as well. Should I consider revision with a reputable surgeon or count my losses? I know this will worsen as I age. Any insight/knowledge/advice is appreciated
I'm starting to meet with doctors to discuss revision rhinoplasty. My primary concern is uneven nostrils which seems addressable - which is a relief. My secondary concern however is my bridge which was originally high and slightly concave - now very low. This does not seem fixable from meeting with two doctors. Both advised against it - that any graft would be extremely hard to smooth and look natural because skin is so thin at the bridge. Do you all agree?
