Removing Cartilage Graft from the Tip of the Nose to Make It 1 to 2mm Shorter

May 22, 2011
Asked By:kako2 in Tracy, ca

Tip of my nose looks much higher and upward due to the graft. I want to have a straight nose, but my doctor convinced me that rotating the tip will look good. I hate the look of my nose. The graft looks so unnatural. I want to make the tip of my nose 1 to 2mm shorter by removing the graft. Is it possible to do this without affecting the rest of the nose. Thanks
