What Are the Signs of a Botched Nose Job?

Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, can greatly enhance facial harmony, but it's important to recognize the signs of a botched procedure.

Common Signs of a Botched Nose Job

  • Asymmetry: Noticeable unevenness in the nostrils or overall nose shape.

  • Breathing Difficulties: Increased difficulty breathing through the nose, often due to structural issues.

  • Excessive Scarring: Visible scars that are raised or uneven.

  • Tip Deformities: The tip of the nose may appear pinched, droopy, or overly lifted.

  • Bridge Irregularities: Irregularities or bumps along the nasal bridge.

Causes of a Botched Nose Job

  • Inadequate Skill: The surgeon’s lack of experience or skill can lead to poor results.

  • Poor Healing: Individual healing responses can vary, sometimes leading to complications.

  • Infection: Post-operative infections can cause complications and affect the final result.

Corrective Options

  • Revision Rhinoplasty: A secondary surgery to correct the issues from the initial procedure.

  • Non-Surgical Options: In some cases, fillers can temporarily address minor irregularities.
