What can be done to de-rotate an upturned nose?

December 8, 2015
Asked By:s991 in Los Angeles, CA

I had cartilage grafted to my tip 8.5 months ago, and ever since I walked out of the operating room, my nose had been too upturned in my opinion, exacerbating my mid facial deficiency issues. What procedures can help de-rotate my nose to prevent it from looking so projected? Feel free to be as anatomically/surgically technical in your answers. Thank you for your time!
