I had quite a big nose reduction and I'm happy with the profile change but my tip looks simply terrible!!! It's basically more bulbous than it was before. Also, it's a bit droppy and looks just wrong (as you can see in the pics, I don't even know how to describe it). On top of that my skin looks "wavy" on one side. I haven't seen it before on anyone. My surgeon said he didn't remove any tissue. Can my nose still improve significantly or is it basically what I'm gonna have? How to improve it?

Supratip fullness can be removed by lowering the profile above the tip or increasing tip projection. A picture would be helpful but this can be accomplished with lengthening your nose as you asked in a previous post.

Columella incision is used for revision rhinoplasties and it heals well; could you provide a photo of your swollen columella and what it is that you are tyring to achieve.
