Hi, it's been a little over 10 months since my open rhinoplasty procedure. I am very disappointed with the results and it's been stressing me out because my appearance is crucial for my career. My nose apparently is dropping a lot more than expected and you can see more septum from the side view that I would like. Also, when I animate, smile, or laugh it turns into a snarl.

Whenever there is significant deprojection and tip set back performed the nostrils will flare a little bit. If it detracts from you result then a alar base narrowing can be performed as a simple office procedure.
good luck!
I do not like using morphong software during consultation. I think it gives patients a somewhat false sense of what they are going to get. I would go by the surgeon's results rather than his morphing ability on the computer.
Hi,
Yes pollybeak can be fixed. There are several different types of pollybeak; cartilagenous, soft tissue, and scarring from previous rhinoplasty. Removing the offending tissue in the supratip area will correct the pollybeak. You may also need some tip support as well.
