Dr. Daniel Shapiro performs plenty of rhinoplasties and secondary revision rhinoplasties. One of the common questions that he receives from patients that are unhappy with the shape of their nose is, "Can a rhinoplasty fix an upturn nose?" Depending upon what the presentation is, people that have not had a rhinoplasty that have an upturn nose, yes, a rhinoplasty can fix that by creating a more aesthetic nasal tip.
Generally, when he sees an upturn nose, it is usually a result of a previous rhinoplasty where too much cartilage was probably taken out. Yes, that can also be fixed, but usually it involves the placing of some cartilaginous graphs either taking from the inside of the nose, behind the ear, or possible a rib.
Overall, it can be accomplished. An upturn nose is a little bit more difficult to fix. Generally, what we try to do is lengthen the tip so you don't feel as though you're looking in the nostrils when you're talking to somebody. It really makes a lot of people happy. He does have a protocol where he likes to see the old operative summary, if he’s going to do a revision rhinoplasty.
We like patients to bring in some old photos so we can see what they like and then we go from there. Overall, an upturn nose can usually be fixed. If it's a primary rhinoplasty it's a little bit easier than a secondary rhinoplasty, but overall the results can be quite good.
