Nose shrink forever due to scar contracture years after Rhinoplasty? (photos)

December 15, 2015
Asked By:viking92 in Beverly Hills, CA

Will all noses shrink forever after a rhinoplasty like lil Kim's nose? Her nose shrank each year little by little after her primary rhinoplasty. Eventually you could see her cartilages and she only got rhinoplasty once. How/why does this happen? How can you prevent this? I'm regretting getting rhinoplasty now
