Reversing tongue and groove and fixing nostril length to gain a more balanced (non-operated look) is this doable?

Asked By:Hopeful980 in Chicago, IL

Unfortunately I am one of those that will have to reconsider a revision rhinoplasty. Besides reversing the tongue and groove which left me with no columella show and a sharp/spear like profile & a short/wide front view, my nostrils are too small! My nostrils are now a lot shorter in length which makes them rounder and wider but what looks the most off balance is my tip/nostril proportion...tip looks very bulky. Can this be fixed, maybe with pushing out the columella and infra lobular?
