How to Lower Raised Tip After Rhinoplasty?

January 21, 2010
Asked By:wrongdoing in England

Over a year ago, I had rhinoplasty to get rid of a hump on my nose. However, the tip of my nose was raised when this was not discussed to being altered, as I was very happy with where it was. I am now very unhappy with how my nose looks, it is straight. However, due to the height of my nose tip it doesn't look like me. I've talked to my surgeon many times and he's suggested using extended baton grafts but said it could cause swelling that will never go away, plus risk of infection. Please help.
