I have thick skin and am worried about deformities from a Bilateral Cephalic Trim - Is it a good next step? (photos)

Asked By:elizfaye in Denver, Colorado

I had a rhinoplasty 10/19 and am unhappy with the tip of my nose as it is still bulbous. I'm working closely with my Dr and have received steroid shots which help (see pics), but my nose remains bulbous from the front. My Dr is suggesting a bilateral cephalic trim, but I am worried about deformities based on reviews I've seen. I have thick skin, so he's indicated I'm a good candidate with limited risk. I'd love any thoughts on this procedure and if it seems like a good next step.
