ANSWER
While it can be done I think the question is will it get you want you want? I’m not sure. I actually like the aesthetics of your lower back / buttock but that of course is a personal taste. I would wait at least 3 months for the swelling to totally resolve and then I would evaluate it with your initial surgeon and decide if adjustments are warranted.Best

It’s hard to tell based on the photos you’ve provided but I in my experience, fillers are helpful for the bridge of the nose not the tip. In your case it appears as if the tip needs most of the work. That being said, I would recommend a few consultations to educate yourself on what can be done. I think you benefit more from surgery but that’s to be determined.Best

You have a nasal deviation with likely underlying septal curvature. You also have thick sebaceous skin. These are the challenges in doing your rhinoplasty. A nice open septorhinoplasty Can be achieved though with reasonable expectations in an experienced surgeons hands. Congrats on the good health and exercise and best of luck!

It’s needs to be approached with caution in any curcumstance.Best

It’s best to answer this question after an in person examination. That being said, it looks like you have a lot of skin and fat in your lower back region that would do well with either a body lift or liposuction. Again though, an in person exam would be best to discuss the pros and cons of each.

ANSWER
each time you have surgery scar tissue is laid down which it more resistant to long term change. That being said, you’ve had a couple septoplasties and a sinus surgery but you did not list a rhinoplasty. To correct the deviation a complete rhinoplasty would be needed with cartilage grafting holding the septum in place. Essentially, your entire nose needs to be taken apart and put back together with appropriate cartilage support to achieve an improvement in the straightness of it. Best

Can be done with fat or implants. It depends on your current body and how much fat you have to transfer and what your buttocks tissue integrity feels like. In general, genetically make buttocks have a firm muscular consistency that can be challenging to feminize with fat alone. Best
