Can Revision Rhinoplasty Strengthen a Weak Nose and Resuspend Nasal Skin?

March 13, 2011
Asked By:11704 in Lindenhurst

My doctor broke and rasped my nasal bones, shaved down the septum too much and removed the distalend of the ULC.He also trimmed 4mm off the cephalic LLcartilage and sutured them together.My bridge and tip are now VERY thin (collapsed nasal valves),tip is upturned a little bit and the overall nose is too small and deprojected. I noticed that much of the skin that was supported by the big nose is now loose. Can a revision strengthen the weak bridge and tip as well resuspend the nasal skin?
