Rhinoplasty Filler or Surgery? (photo)

I had a rhinoplasty in 2007 for a deviated septum, as part of the procedure the surgeon also refined my tip. I am unhappy with my nose as i believe it looks over operated and unnatural. I have looked to have a revision but have been told there is more risk in ruining my nose than improving it with surgery. I was advised to have a filler. I have looked into fillers and am very sceptical of them. Do you think revision surgery is an option, or should i just learn to accept my over done nose job. :(

Rhinoplasty Filler or Surgery?

I wish you had posted a side view also. But I too wonder if a true rhinoplasty surgeon told you to use fillers as an attempt to correct the appearance of your nose??? Seek boarded rhino docs in your city for evaluation of a revision rhinoplasty. Good luck.

Filler or Nasal Surgery to Revise Tip

I also am very skeptical about using fillers in the tip and never recommend it. I would encourage you to have a revision by a surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty. I would not accept your tip if I were you.
