Before rhinoplasty I had a long, strong nose. I was looking to have a more slimmer nose and a bit more of projection on the tip. I ended up with a short, stubby nose with exposed nostrils and a bulbous tip. Why did this take place? How can it be corrected? What needs to happen to get rid of the exposed nostrils? Should I have to pay again? This is not what I requested and I clearly had a better nose before. Now I am scared to use the same surgeon as the result is what I had asked for.

Hi Cynthia,
Cancel your surgery! You should not have elective surgery for at least 9 to 12 months after Accutane treatment. Retin-A can be stopped about one week before a procedure. Good luck and be well.
