3 Years Post Rhino, Unhappy With Results. What Was Done? What Can Be Done? (photo)
3 years ago I had a rhinoplasty. I only asked to make my nose slightly small and less wide. But now I have: -A scoop nose; -Tip bigger&harder than before; -A slightly alar collapse; -Wich makes me more unhappy is my nose when I smile (dropped tip and hanging columella).-What was done to my nose, that led to this state? -Is possible to return to a nose similar like the original (same smile expression), and what techniques are needed?

I would leave it alone and thank your surgeon for his minimal and conservative approach.

It is always helpful to know what exactly was done during the first operation if possible. An exam in person to evaluate the nose and to determine your desires is important.
