I insisted that I wanted a very natural change and my plastic surgeon agreed that he would not lift the tip or give me an unnatural nose. However, my cast was removed on day 7 and I have been crying every since. It has been 10 days since my surgery and my nose is very pig like and looks very fake. Can taping drop the tip?
