Is It Safe to Undergo a Tertiary Rhinoplasty for Irregular Nose Tip? (photo)

December 4, 2012
Asked By:mjjthegreat in New York, NY

Hi, my fist surgery was in 2003 for a hump and bulbous tip. The doctor said he couldn't operate on my tip cause I have too soft cartilages and it would be too risky. In 2008 I had the 2nd procedure. This time, the doctor rearranged the bones and narrowed a bit the tip. He said too that my cartilages were too soft and had to put in grafts. This made my nose look fatter and crooked. Would it be dangerous trying to get my tip redone?My latest doctor refused it... Note: I have thick nose skin.
