Is There Anyway to Get Your Nose Back to the Way It Was Before a Tip Plasty? (photo)

I had surgery February I had surgery to correct my bulbous nose tip. It was overly big, but I over analysed it and had surgery. Even the day of surgery I wasn't sure, but I did. It has been 5-6 months since then and I hate my new nose. The lateral side of my nose now look to wide and my nose look way to small. The doctor said he took 5cm of each side to make my nose the way it is now. Is there anyway to get my tip back the way it was? I kind of miss it and I now know I made a huge mistake.

Tip Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty revision.

No, not exactly as before. However, an experienced Cosmetic Rhinoplastic Surgeon can help reconstruct your nose if you make the effort to consult with them.

However, at 6 months post-op final results are... more
