Dear doctors. I had a revision rhinoplasty to elongate the nose and and to build up the bridge. I think I have retracted nostrils because the surgeon didn't successfully lower the nostrils rim. Can I fix this temporarely with filler untill I do my next revision or fillers are not safe in my case? Also I would like to put filler on the nose to minimise the curve on bridge. Is that safe to do?
