Is it worth getting a second rhinoplasty to make my nose even smaller? (Photo)

April 30, 2018
Asked By:anflower12 in Houston, TX

I received a nose job two years ago to remove my bump and was adamant on only having subtle changes done. Now that it has settled in I'm having regrets and wishing that I had asked for a much smaller nose as I still don't think it suites my face properly. Would it be worth going through a second rhinoplasty to get a smaller and thinner nose? Do I need it? What are the risks if I have thick skin?
