Can bulbous tip refinement be reversed? (Photo)

January 10, 2016
Asked By:mokat in Los Angeles, CA

The surgeon used sutures- can these be cut so I can have my old tip back? Or does cartilage have to be added? It has been 6 months and my tip still feels sort of hard. The tip looked like this before (in photo) and now it blends into my nasal bridge and looks a bit pointier. Without the bulbous part it looks like I have no tip to my nose anymore.
