Upturned nose after a 1st rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty on upturned nose with surgical look after a 1st rhinoplasty, by Dr. Gerbault:

In recent years, Dr. Gerbault often sees women who have undergone nose surgery who find their nose too hollowed out and too up, after a 1st rhinoplasty. These patients want natural feminine noses and not "Instagram" noses.
The correction by secondary rhinoplasty is unfortunately very complex and requires the use of several cartilaginous grafts to lower the tip, the alae.
He also had to refine a little more the bony and cartilaginous pyramid in this young woman thanks to ultrasonic rhinoplasty.
The result after more than a year is natural and feminine, but corrects the appearance of fake and operated nose.

Secondary ethnic rhinoplasty

Secondary ethnic rhinoplasty, by Dr. Gerbault:

Ethnic rhinoplasty requires very specific structural rhinoplasty techniques.
This woman of African descent had come to see me 2 years ago for a refinement rhinoplasty and had finally chosen another surgeon who performed a "classic" rhinoplasty on her.
She then came back to see me almost a year after this rhinoplasty with an even wider and bulkier tip than initially.
She then had a secondary rhinoplasty with me which consisted of structuring the entire nose through the use of costal graft combined with ultrasonic rhinoplasty for the upper nose.
The result at 6 months is still early, but it shows well the refinement that can be achieved even in this type of complex secondary rhinoplasty on a person with thick skin thanks to adapted structural rhinoplasty techniques.

Secondary rhinoplasty: too much cartilaginous trimming with conspicuous nostrils and retracted alae, by Dr. Gerbault:

Correction of aesthetic and breathing issues is common in secondary rhinoplasty. The appearance of very conspicuous nostrils after secondary rhinoplasty is very common, due to excessive resections of cartilage.
This young woman had a significant resection of her tip cartilages, and an incomplete correction of her deviated septum. She breathed worse after her rhinoplasty. She was very embarrassed by the appearance of her tip of the nose, the nostrils too conspicuous and retracted, the asymmetrical tip…
She benefited from an ultrasonic structural rhinoplasty with the use of costal grafts to reconstruct her nose, lower the tip and alae. These are long and complex operations that I continue to perform, having stopped secondary rhinoplasty for minor aesthetic and functional problems.

Secondary rhinoplasty on an over shortened nose, with an over rotated tip and alar retractions, by Dr. Gerbault:

It’s rare that a patient can’t stop smiling as she discovers her new nose after the splint removal six days after her secondary rhinoplasty. This is what happened with this charming patient whose nose had been severely damaged after a first rhinoplasty performed 11 months earlier.
She arrived significantly affected psychologically by her foreshortened nose with an overrotated tip and a strong alar retraction creating an excess visibility of the inner part of her nose.
A global reconstruction of her nose has been done with a lowering of the tip and alae and a lengthening of the nose, while keeping a natural and feminine look of the nose.
The result at day 6 post-op shows a natural result without any stigmata of the surgery after 3 hours and a half spent in the OR.

Tip asymmetry

Pollybeak deformity
Tip asymmetry with retraction of the left alar rim.
Structural secondary rhinoplasty establishing a good support to the tip.
Correction of the retraction of the left alar rim and refinement of the rest of the nose.
Nose having been restructured are more rigid at digital pressure

Correction of a failed rhinoplasty.

Twisted nose with deviation of the septum and significant asymmetry of the tip after rhinoplasty
Secondary rhinoplasty with repositioning of the septum,
Tip repair with cartilage sutures and cartilaginous grafts.
Preventive camouflage because the skin is very thin
Result at 6 months
