hi! I am considering a revision rhinoplasty as I am approaching 1yearPO and realizing the surgeon failed to hold true to his promises- to keep my boxy tip. It is drastically narrowed now, to a curved tip. It does not fit or suit my face, and is asymmetric, and I'm wondering if it would be possible at all to "rebuild" a boxy cartilage tip to the nose. I hardly ever see results like this, and I'm just wondering if it's possible. Thank you

Hello! Nostril correction can be done easly. Your nose tip is short. Short and elevated tip cause pig nose apperance. It should be elongated. I suppose, rib cartilage will be needed in your case. Nostrils should be adjusted according to new tip. It can be done with alarplasty.

Make sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon well versed in rhinoplasty revisions.
Best of luck !
