I Want my Old Nose Back, Building Up Bridge and Derotation I Had a Rhinoplasty 4 Months Ago, Wait 1 Year for Revision? (photo)

March 25, 2013
Asked By:moomoon999 in Australia, AU

I had my hump filed down and tip graft to give tip support the aspects I would like from my old nose is the profile, I want the bridge built up to the same size and it to be rounded, like before rather then straight, is that possible with rib grafts to be rounded? I'm aware I have a pollybeak building up my nose what would that do to the front appearance? and the tip lengthened and derotated, can I get all these aspects of my old nose back? how close could I get to my old nose?
