A female Asian who wanted a slimmer and smaller nose and ended up with a defined and much bigger nose when viewed from side and 3/4 angle. I prefer the height of my old bridge. What can be done to bring down my protruding nose? Would revising my nose by replacing my current 3mm implant with a smaller one give me back the natural contour of my nose while making it a bit slimmer than my before nose? What would be done to the tip to match a smaller implant? Would an alar plasty be recommended?
