2 years after rhinoplasty. What is happening to my nose? (Photo)
September 25, 2023
Asked By:Neat12879 in Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
It has been 2 years since my rhinoplasty and I feel like the initial results are changing. Like my collumella seems to be falling as well as my tip? Does this warrant a revision?
