Tags: nose, tip

Hi there, I recently had Revision Rhinoplasty on May 4th and it seems as if the problems that were agreed to be fixed are now only exaggerated.

I was told my nose would be straightened but my septum still leans severely to the right and I was told the bump on the left side of the tip of my nose would be reduced but I still have a round, hard appearance whenever I turn my head slightly to the left when my nose is smooth on the other side. Is this likely to correct itself?

Good luck, and let me know if I could be of further assistance. Best... more
