April 22, 2015
Asked By:POPLA in Jersey City, NJ

I've been told by my doctor that my nasal inner valves are collapsed and he'd be putting some grafts on either side to reconstruct it(while performing rhinoplasty) Would it make my nose look fat? I've never really had any breathing issue,so I think the graft is gona be really tiny...does valve correction make noses look fat generally? Thankyou
