Closed or Open Rhinoplasty Better for Revision?

July 18, 2010
Asked By:5359anon in wisconsin

ive already had an open one. my nose was broken and brought in, my tip turned up and some off of it & bump filed down.The only thing is he added septum cartilage to the top and bottom of bump to make it look straighter which just inturn gave me a bigger nose in height wise which is not what i wanted. also the tip is too upturned and too much off. i preferred my longer nose. would a revision be better with a closed or open since he would just have to file it down more and add back on the tip?
