Cartilage poking out at the tip after rhinoplasty revision - is this urgent to fix? (Photos)

Asked By:Practical841328 in Bogotá, Bogotá, Colombia

I had my first rhinoplasty almost two years ago. I needed a revision because the tip went a bit downwards and I wanted it more defined and upturned. I got a second procedure and now I think my nose looks very pointy at the very tip. I'm happy with almost everything except for that. It worries me that it can get worse in the future. Is this urgent to fix and are there other options besides a third procedure?
