Feeling regret after past rhinoplasty (5+ yrs ago), is there a way for me to get
Revision rhinoplasty
Apr 27, 2022
Many thanks for your enquiry. Derotation of your nasal tip is certainly feasible through a revision rhinoplasty. These are never simple procedures and in your scenario, you are likely to need grafts to restore your nasal length and to derotate the nasal tip. This should help reduce the appearance of your nostril show but would be best performed by someone with significant experience in revision rhinoplasty.

Natural outcome
Apr 27, 2022
Many thanks for your enquiry. The ideal rhinoplasty should appear in harmony with your face and hence, an outcome on one individual may not suit another. Your wish to have things improved whilst keeping your general appearance should be achievable. There are many skilled rhinoplasty surgeons who should be able to help you with your goal. Be guided through their experience and also presentations of prior patient outcomes which should help you with your decision.

Rhinoplasty and chin implant – Will they balance my side profile and make me loo
Balanced profile
Apr 22, 2022
Many thanks for your question. As you have noted in your title, the elements of our face should harmonize which each other rather than stand on their own. From your picture, your chin does look a little setback which increases the perception relating to the size of your nose which is also accentuated by your profile suggesting a prominence. Each can be addressed on their own merits but I suspect the nose would take precedence in your scenario as you have concurrent airway issues. However, at…

Nose and chin harmony
Apr 19, 2022
Many thanks for your enquiry. From my perspective, I agree with your thoughts about your chin. As it is little set back, it gives the impression of your nose being too big. I suspect that your nose is not too far off reasonable projection but the dorsal prominence together with your chin being set back, give the impression on your nose being larger. To address things, I think that your would benefit from both being addressed to help harmonise your nose with your face.

Many thanks for your enquiry
It is possible that your septum is deviated over to the left. However, no intervention is required if you have do not have any functional or aesthetic concerns

Tip twist
Apr 16, 2022
Many thanks for your enquiry. Generally, a tip twist can be improved but the inherent forces arising in healing owing the memory of the underlying structure can pull things back to their pre-operative position. However, using grafts that have enough structural integrity together with addressing any associated septal deviation can aid in reducing the degree to retwisitng. Any further surgery though should be undertaken by someone who has significant experience in performing revision surgery…

Droppy tip
Apr 16, 2022
Many thanks for your query
It is possible for the tip to come down after surgery. However, your pictures suggest some supra tip fullness and with time, as this reduces, the general balance of your tip will seem improved.
