I am unhappy with my rhinoplasty result. I asked for nasal tip narrowing and sharpening, and straightening of the bridge, none of which were achieved. Instead, my tip projection was reduced (which I did NOT want as I desired a pointed look) but the overall shape was left unchanged, constituting a 'flattened' look which is more unflattering than my natural nose was. My nose is also now upturned even though I specifically told the surgeon I liked and wanted to retain the slight downturn of my tip.

Thank you for your question. It is difficult or impossible to give you and exact number as to how far a nasal tip will drop especially after a rhinoplasty. How much a tip drops depends upon many factors relatd to to the make up of your skin, cartilage, and soft tissue of your nose. Everyone is...
Thankslet the swelling to settle down, although my feeling is that there is likely to be room for improvement after full healing process!bwJ TaheryOtolaryngologist/Facial Plastic SurgeonChesterUK
I would have your surgeon perform computer imaging of your nose to make sure you are on the same page as far as the result you would like to achieve from surgery. A rib graft will undoubtedly make your nose appear larger.
