How can I talk constructively with my surgeon about my rhinoplasty result? (photo)

Asked By:balkanmuse in Chesterfield, Missouri

I had rhinoplasty about a year ago. I'm mostly satisfied – she removed the hump, fixed the crookedness, debulked the tip, repaired the septum, & lifted the tip. But I requested a round tip and it looks pointy from the side. And even though my bridge was deprojected, I think she left my tip overly projected. I like the front view, but the shape of the side profile not so much. She says this is just swelling since I have thick skin. Could filler help? Or do I need to discuss a revision?
