Super thin "Flimsy" cartilage on nose. Any suggestions?

October 14, 2015
Asked By:Hirabi12 in Atlanta, Georgia

I was on episode 1, of the first season of a show called Atlanta Plastic. My doctor was great. I don't want to bother him with a dumb question regarding my nose, on the episode he said my cartilage was "Flimsy". Its been about 6 or 7 months since the surgery. It seems as though my nose was thinner before. It looks thicker now, and the tip thicker and harder. My question is, can that be corrected without looking like a Voldermort or is it too dangerous to correct it?
