Open Revision with Local? (photo)
surgeon told me i could get the extra cartilage (about the size of a small pea) in the right side of my tip 'shaved down' in an open procedure under local anesthetic. what could the aesthetic effects on my nose be after having this done? i dont want to screw up my profile.
