“Saddle Nose Effect Caused by Strengthening Nose with Septum Cartilage”

Not Sure
Spent: $6,000 in England

It hasn't been a full year yet so after this time i can make a full review regarding the procedure and how it turned out fully.

I had the tip of my nose strengthened with septum cartilage about 8 months ago. I have quite a big nose for a caucasian so it took most of my septum cartilage. Now my question\problem is that the extra weight at the end of my nose has caused a saddle nose effect which has caused me quite a lot of concern. Can this be fixed using more cartilage from the ear or rip?
