Tags: nose tip, revision

I had seen a plastic surgeon(ENT) for medical/cosmetic reasons. At my 1st consultation appt the ENT and I agreed on fixing the septum, reducing turbinates, shaving my bridge down, shortening my nose&refining the tip,cost was then decided by him. At my 2nd appt before surgery he talked me out of getting my tip done by saying that he thought I didn’t need one. I’m 2/wks post op & unsatisfied& I believe I paid for something I didn’t receive. Is there a chance he’d do a tip reduction at reduced cost?
