I had rhinoplasty a few years ago & LOVED it. My nostrils didn’t show much, my nose didn’t change shape when I smiled & the tip looked small. I had a lip lift 6 months after the rhinoplasty & noticed a very small change in my nostril size. I then had a 2nd lip lift 1 year after the 1st lip lift. Now my nose is wider, more nostril shows, the center (columna?) hangs lower, my nose widens quite a bit when I smile & I have a deep scar beside one nostril. Can these be fixed?
