Swelling or Over Deprojection?

aa567May 21, 2024
I had a revision rhinoplasty 2.5 years ago. My nose is bulbous, wide and flattens out when I smile big giving my nose a very wide appearance. I had a long, skinny nose prior to revision rhinoplasty. My questions are: 1) Can the wide look be due to tip swelling or has it been over deprojected? 2) If it can be due to over deprojection, what are my options in fixing the width of my nose? Will I have to get another revision?
