Asked By:Hopeful980 in Chicago, IL

2nd Revision - would like spreader grafts and perichondrium removed. nose looks crooked and wonky! i am 12 months postop. I don't like the result because my nose is bulkier, wider, crooked and has a wonky appearance. I want to know if spreader grafts can be removes safely and if so, will the bridge go back to how it was prior (please note that i did not have my bones broken or bridge rasped previously). I was able to breath find before as well. Also, i'd like to have the perich. removed from my supra tip break and tip. This has made my nose bigger and has taken away my contours. Is this possible with the right surgeon?
