The frontal view shows us that her nose was too short after her first
operation. We want to see just a bit of the nostrils from the frontal
view, indicating that the nose is turned up attractively, but not too
much. I think we see more nostril in the before view on this page than is
optimal. She shows less nostril in the after view.
In this before picture, you can also see some of the irregularities along the
dorsum as well as the prominent dent between the cartilages in her
columella.

Questioner:
Is There a Way to Put a Very Slight Curve in my Nose Without Surgery?
I had a revision surgery 3 weeks ago. I was left with a too scooped nose so I wanted cartilage places to make it a little more straight with a slight curve. I feel that my nose is too straight now. Is it possible to get a slight curve without having surgery again?

Dr. Denenberg's answer: Revision rhinoplasty takes longer to show the final result
Hi, Eliza, Three weeks is too early to judge the results of a revision rhinoplasty. Your nose will be changing and losing swelling for at least a year, more likely 18 months or so. Also, revision rhinoplasty is so difficult, that it's rarely wise to operate to change anything "slightly." Every time you have surgery, some new feature will appear to bother you. My opinion is that you should back burner the idea of more surgery for at least a year or so.
