Is it possible to get this type of nose back?

I know I can't get my old nose back and revision rhinoplasty is complex. However is there any way I can get more fullness to my tip. I don't like that I can see my nostrils and columella now. Can a Revision Rhinoplasty get my ethnic look back? **PICTURES ARE NOT MINE RETRIEVED ONLINE***

Hi there! After any rhinoplasty, especially multiple revisions, it is very common to have altered sensation of your nasal tip and a "woody" feel. I expect the sensation of your tip will improve over the course of 12-18 months, and likely go back to normal, but it is a possibility that it will...

Hello and thank you for your question. Color changes can happen in the multiple revision patient. Usually time helps to improve this and since you are only 4.5 months postop time will likely be on your side. Lasers traditionally do not help with this so I do not recommend trying that. I...
