Post rhino: pointed, overprojected tip, nostril retraction, low columella etc. Unhappy with outcome. Any suggestions? (photos)

Asked By:Revisionary in Portland, OR

I had open rhinoplasty with LLC grafts 2 months ago. I don't understand why my results look nothing like my goal. The nose appears longer than pre-op and is unflatteringly pointed and bottom heavy with too much nostril show. I feel it is aesthetically less than ideal. Clearly there is much swelling, but will time really make a significant difference/round the tip or will I eventually need a 2nd surgery to achieve the original goal? Please share your candid observations. Thank you in advance.
