What if I Feel Like I Need More Than Rasping of the Bridge Will It Cost Me More for the Revision Rhinoplasty?

I had my first rhinoplasty done about 6 months ago, I feel strongly I will need a revision .There is minimal improvement. Ive been told by close friends they do not see much difference. My skin is thick the dorsal is still too high the width is still wider than id hoped and I do not like the tip, it appears bulbous and I cant stand that the septum protrudes and the nostrils are much too visible.

Another surgeon will charge the full amount. Also, wait at least one year before considering another surgery. It would be a mistake to go in any earlier as the tissue will not be mature enough to operate upon. Good luck!

Whether or not there is a charge related to the revison... more
