I had rhinoplasty in Turkey on July 11th - iI asked my surgeon to raise Philtrum, refine tip, narrow nostrils and de-project. All of which he said was possible. I did NOT want him to up-turn the tip. I know it’s normally done and will drop after healing but 6/7 months on, it still looks upturned and projected, just with a much lower bridge. I look wider and less defined from the front now than it did before. Photos attached before/ expectations / after for reference

I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
