As Aesthetic Tastes Change, Cosmetic Surgery Reversals Are Trending
It transcends generations, this notion of “patients wishing to have a rhino reversal due to initially choosing a ‘trendy’ nose,” adds Dr. Melissa Doft, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City. Take the pert ski-slope noses of the ’80s and ’90s: This shape has since become passé, but it’s also technically unsound — it becomes pinched and angular over time, says Dr. Doft, and this can dramatically age the face.
But it’s not only throwback noses that people are wanting redone. “More recently, there’s been a social-media trend of a very upturned nose,” says Dr. Doft, which can be created surgically or, in some cases, with filler. “Many patients realize too late that they don’t like it on their face and wish to have it reversed.”
