Unhappy! 6 Months Post-Op Rhinoplasty. Side profile changed, pinched in tip. (photos)

February 10, 2015
Asked By:fga13 in Los Angeles, CA

I am unhappy with my post-op results ESPECIALLY with my profile. I liked my profile before, now it looks terrible: tip protrudes, looks like my bridge has been scooped out. I did not ask for the structure of my side profile to be changed!! I wanted my tip reshaped to be smaller, and nostrils as well especially from the front but now it looks pinched in and shapeless, almost like an "MJ" effect especially when I smile. Any insight? Should I be patient? Should I require revision?
