Can the cartilage filler in my nose be removed/dissolved? Do I need a revision rhinoplasty?

Barbie2OOOJul 20, 2023
I had a rhinoplasty last month. The doctor didn't only remove my hump but he filled my nose with cardilage filler in between my eyes so my nose appear longer which we never agreed on. I hate it and never wanted to make changes besides shaving my hump. I told him that I didn't like it and he kept saying that it's beautiful and would be ugly without. He didn't care about my opinion and created the nose he liked. Can the cartilage filler be removed/dissolved? Or do I need a revision rhinoplasty?

Sorry for your disappointing results. Basically, when the underlying structure of the nasal dorsum is reduced, the skin at the top of the nose, which is thinner, can redrape quite effectively. However, the more sebaceous, thicker skin towards the bottom of your nose will shrink down only "so...
