I won't know the answer to that question until I examine your nose and see you in person. That's the toughest decision to make is when is enough, enough but that's what you pay me for...to help you make that decision. We are not here to convince you to have a Revision Rhinoplasty but my goal is to give you an honest evaluation and recommendation on what's in your best interest based on over 20 years of performing Rhinoplasty and very complicated revision Rhinoplasty. If you don't get that type of advice and answers, you'll always wonder what if, should I, could I etc. This way, you'll have your answer, either way....surgery or no surgery, you can lay the issue to rest and move on with your life.

However, I have a question. The surgeon who did my revision utilized ear cartilage to even out my tip, smooth out a sharp edge on the left side, lend support to the right side of my tip and fix a dent just above my nostril. I still have the dent, my right nostril is still weakening. On a positive note, the top view is even and the sharp edge is no longer visible. My problem is mainly the tip looks fat, and the left side is quite a bit larger than the right. From the dog's view my tip is uneven, right nostril smaller than left and tip slightly off center. It's funny. Initially, I wanted the tiny bump on my bridge removed. That's it. I loved my tip, and specifically requested it not be touched. Unfortunately, my primary surgeon cut and divided the tip cartilages. So, I am where I am, and I digress. My question is can one really improve the appearance of my nose at this point and make it smaller again? And, is there any way to do it closed? I keep telling myself to leave well enough alone. Then, I look in the mirror and get so sad because I know that my nose was much prettier before I ever touched it. I was much prettier before I touched it. I would love to hear your opinion before I make the trip to California. Dr. Palmer,

In either case, you may want a second opinion. Revision Rhinoplasty should not be done any sooner than 6 month intervals as this may cause permanent damage to the nsasl skin. You can e-mail photos of your nose to drfpalmer1@aol.com and you may want to schedule a phone consultation where we discuss my findings and recommendations. You can schedule that by e-mail or contact my staff at 310-652-9583. You didn't mention if the silicone graft was L-shaped or a straight piece along the bridge. L-shaped grafts will increase the size of the nasal tip and can erode through the nasal skin...in my opinion, they should not be used in Rhinoplasty. Dr. Francis R Palmer, III Summer,

They filmed me all day at the office and at home. The executive producer wanted me on the show but the E Network execs said that I was too together for the show. Go figure...I guess TV wants a certain personality but I am what I am, period! I am pitching my own TV shows that I would be proud of the content and manner in which Plastic Surgery and Plastic Surgeons are portrayed. We'll see if they make it on the air or not, who knows.

You have several options deopending on how scooped out the nasal brdige is at this point. Radiesse can be injected to increase the height or cartilage/man made grafts can be added to the nasal bridge. The latter does require another Rhinoplasty (closed) in order to gain access to the nasal bridge. I do many Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty surgeries and have done so for about 20 years. You may want to e-mail photos of your nose to drfpalmer1@aol.com and schedule a phone consult where we can discuss my findings and recommendations.
