I had a closed rhinoplasty 7 months ago. However, I hate my results. The tip is too bulky and wide. My surgeon tells me that nothing should be done because it "suits me". He says that revision might ruin the look of my nose because the "paths" are not as wide as before and an accident might happen during operation.
