Why Did my Surgeon Shave off my Bone?
asked 11 months ago by Jenson in Los Angeles
Latest answer by Kimberly Lee, MD
Question viewed 86 times
Tags: bone, shave, tip
I had a nosejob almost a year ago because I had a hump on the bridge and a droopy nose. So I got it done. The bridge looked nice and straight, but the tip was bulbous and upturned, and my columnella was hanging. In my revision rhinoplasty he shaved off bone again (even the tip) and put a material there. So he didn't only work on the tip but the bridge too, why's that?

Sometimes as one area is address fine tuning needs to be done in another to make sure everything appears balanced.
You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon to get a clearer answer.
