Revision tip plasty, 6 years PO
I’ve been considering a tip revision for the last 6 years since having my rhinoplasty, and I’d really love some honest advice or to hear from anyone who’s been through something similar.
Overall, I don’t hate my nose, but if there’s one thing I would change, it’s the tip. I feel like it’s too pointy, too projected, and slightly too upturned. I actually don’t mind the upturn itself, but combined with how sharp/pointy the tip is, I feel like it exaggerates it and makes it stand out more than I’d like. From the 3/4 angle, that’s when I notice the issue the most. I also have some hanging columella, which I think is more noticeable because of how upturned the tip is.
I recently went back to Istanbul for consultations and saw my original surgeon, as well as Mehmet Erdil and Doğan Pınar. I’m seriously considering a revision next year, whether with my original surgeon or someone new, but I know tip work is delicate and revisions can be unpredictable, which makes me nervous.
Has anyone here had a successful tip plasty/tip revision, especially for projection, pointiness, or correcting an over-rotated tip? Was it worth it, and are you happy with the result? I’d really appreciate hearing real experiences.
