Asked By:behien116 in Houston, TX

I got a revision rhinoplasty 7 years ago and the doctor did cartilage tip graft on my nose. Even thought he placed the fascia tissue underneath the skin to camouflage its still very obvious and showing though my skin. It's getting worst over the years. Is it a simple procedure to shave down the tip? Will shaving down the tip messing with the fascia tissue that already there ? Do I need to be under general anethesia or local? And how much will it cost? Thanks
