A rhinoplasty and face lift actually aren't done at the "same time," at
least in my office. I don't like to do a rhinoplasty during the very same
operation as a face lift, because I'm afraid that the process of taking care of
the face lift will cause the splint on the nose to fall off early. We
perform the two procedures one week apart, face lift first.

Questioner:
Is There Hope for Another Revision Rhinoplasty?
I had a revision rhinoplasty to fix my deviated septum. I wanted to keep the shape and size and only fix the deviation. A graft was placed (not from my body) but I was surprised that now my nose appears to have bad scar tissue, resulting in a "no shape" and bulbous nose. Could another revision fix my nose, for the last time? Or, will scar tissue keep forming? Can my nose be slimmed and defined? I live in Saudi, but I'm considering a revision in the states. Is there any surgeon you recommend?
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Removing scar tissue to give definition to the nose can be difficult
While it's true that some scar tissue will always form after any operation, the question is whether your scar tissue can be carved enough to give a meaningful improvement despite the new scar that can form. Sometimes the cartilages can still be modified to help with narrowing and defining, or adjusting or removing the graft could help. Could you post larger photos, taken from many angles, and also let us know where the graft sits? That would help.
