Question

It is a bit overotated, short, thick, and has asymmetric nostrils. What could be a rea

Wide and Over Rotated Tip Question
Jun 18, 2019

Thank you for your question and photos.
Your tip can be narrowed by reducing the width of the tip cartilages and tip refining sutures. You can also benefit from narrowing of the nostrils.

To De-Rotate (turn down) the tip, you will likely need a caudal septum extension graft (from your own septum cartilage or rib), and then reposition the tip cartilages onto the graft.

It is very important to remember that every body has normal asymmetries in the face and nose, and perfect…

Nose tip and nostrils refinement – Can these be fixed with closed rhinoplasty? What me

Closed Rhinoplasty Possible
Jun 18, 2019

Thank you for your question and photos.

The short answer to your question is Yes, this rhinoplasty can be performed through a closed approach.

The tip can be deprojected (made shorter), which will make the nostrils look shorter too.

The tip can be narrowed,through a closed approach as well by reducing the width of the tip cartilages, although the tip in this picture does not look too wide at all. It looks like the tip cartilages are cephalically oriented (oriented…

Do you have any advice on non-surgical rhinoplasty (fillers) while I save up for a rev

Non Surgical Rhinoplasty
Jun 18, 2019

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty can improve minor irregularities and the overall shape of the nose but their result is limited.
The first limitation is that the result is temporary and can last up to 12-18 months.
The second limitation is that non surgical rhinoplasty usually makes the nose look larger/ wider.
The third limitation is that non surgical rhinoplasty will not improve breathing issues.
The fourth limitation is that this there is a risk of blindness and/ or skin…

Can my nose tip be rotated downward?

Straightening and Derotating the tip
Jun 18, 2019

Straightening a crooked nose is actually one of the trickiest rhinoplasty maneuvers and requires a surgeon with skill and expertise. It will require expert placement of spreader grafts, and selective breaking of nasal bones. It is important for you to set your expectations on improvement, not perfection.
Bringing the tip down can be performed by repositioning it onto a septal extension graft.
The grafts may come from either your septum (inside the nose) or rib.
These maneuvers can…

Should I have another rhinoplasty?

Revision Rhinoplasty Possibly
Jun 15, 2019

It does seem that you have thick skin, some residual deviation of the nose, and a little residual dorsal hump.
After 9 months post operation, a lot of the swelling is already gone, but thick skin holds on to swelling a little longer than thin skin, and so there is likely some swelling that still needs to resolve in your case.
It looks like you may eventually benefit from a revisit rhinoplasty. Revision rhinoplasty is more difficult than a primary rhinoplasty…

Doctor said my nose tip may go lower as it heals because it’s too high up now. Is that

Nasal Healing and the Tip
Jun 12, 2019

The nose becomes swollen after Rhinoplasty and can stay significantly swollen for between 1-2 weeks. The swelling around the base of the nose can make it appear more up-turned than it really is. It is too early to judge the result of your rhinoplasty at this time. After around 6-8 weeks, the swelling should reduce enough for you to begin to see your result, and the tip usually does drop by a few millimeters during this time. Final healing can take between 12-18 months and your nose should…

Is my nose asymmetry due to internal scar tissue, uneven cartilage refinement, or poor

Good Rhinoplasty Result
Jun 16, 2014

Your current nose is an improvement from your original nose in my professional opinion. Your tip appears less bulbous, your bridge is nice and straight with no bump, your projection and rotation are improved and feminine compared to before surgery photos. You must be patient as it takes between 12 to 18 months before you will see your final result, and 6 weeks post surgery is too early to judge your final result. You also must have realistic expectations since surgeons can create an…
