Need a revision specialist in the US. Pls help

I had a rhinoplasty in 2020. I have this weird scar tissue (?) bubble on the bridge of my nose. It squishy and I can move it around a little. I’ve had a few kenalog injections a few years ago but it always comes back. It’s slightly off center to the right..

I’ve tried to find ANYONE who has had this experience and I can’t.. :’)

I’d also like the tip to be a bit more defined/pointy (not POINTY but I don’t know the right word lol)

I also have slight breathing issues and frequent nasal dripping ever since the rhinoplasty.

I’ve been putting it off because im terrified of a revision rhinoplasty but I can see this bubble out of the corner of my eye and it makes me so self conscious. You can’t always see it but with any kind of overhead lighting it is very visible

Dr. Bader, David Kim or Katrib?

For people familiar with revision rhinoplasty surgeons who would you trust more for this type of case: David Kim, Brad Bader, or Katrib?

I’m looking for more of a restorative/natural revision to restore previous features. My primary surgery left me feeling over-operated on and I’m trying to find someone who understands facial harmony and preservation.

My concerns/goals are:
-reversing overly aggressive osteotomies/narrowing
-widening a pinched or over-resected tip. My face looks better with a wider nose like I had naturally.
-restoring softness/flexibility to the tip
-improving nostril tension/stiffness and contour. My old nostrils had soft look to them now they look tight and triangular in shape. (No alarplasty done).
-correcting an over-rotated/high columella look
-avoiding a “done” look and getting closer to my original anatomy

If you’ve consulted or operated with any of them, who do you think is strongest for this type of revision specifically?
I’ve seen Bader restore and produce fuller tips on those who had too much cartilage resection but I have not seen him do anything else besides that like augment dorsal bridge. I’ve seen David Kim’s work and he has done good tip work as well as dorsal augmentation. Katrib has good work too but I notice his bridges look boxier. Which I do not mind widening my lateral osteotomies if he was able to give me soft dorsal lines.

Would also appreciate hearing if any of them tend to push a certain aesthetic or if one is more conservative/restorative than the others.
Would genuinely appreciate honest opinions/experiences or other suggestions:))

Day 15 Revision #3: Finally got the straight profile I’ve wanted for 11 years. How do I keep it this way? (Thick Skin)

I am 15 days post-op from my 3rd surgery. My first was in 2016, and my second was in 2023. I spent over a decade so self-conscious that I used to cover my nose with my hand when people walked by.
This surgery was a refinement. My surgeon rasped the bridge and removed a lot of internal scar tissue to finally get this straight profile. Because I have thick skin and this is my 3rd time, I am terrified of scar tissue (pseudo-hump) coming back and ruining this line.
What I’m doing now:
• Taping 24/7.
• Taking BPC-157 and Serrapeptase for healing/scarring.
• Using a nasal trainer and sleeping upright.
Questions for the thick-skin/revision crew:

  1. What else did you do to help the skin "shrink-wrap" to the new bridge?
  2. Did you get Kenalog (steroid) shots early on to prevent thickening?
  3. How long did you stay on a strict taping schedule?

I’m finally happy with my profile, but I’m nervous about the "memory" of my skin. Any advice to keep it smooth and straight is appreciated!

How bad did my surgeon mess up?

I’m about three years after a rhinoplasty, the bridge of the nose has slowly become more twisted and scarred over time, and the right mid section has developed a more noticeable collapse and v deformity in the last year. I do not want to get surgery or fillers or something that could cause MORE complications, how bad does it look??

I've been trying to find people who had reverse osteotomy to due to overly osteotomized bone in their first rhino. I find the lack of blog post from people who got reverse osteotomy really weird... It makes me think is this surgery really even possible?
