Lumpy tip 11 months post open rhinoplasty. Can it be improved with filler or will I need another surgery? (Photo)

Asked By:aeewing

I'm so upset. I am 11 months post open rhinoplasty to correct several problems (crooked septum, droopy tip, hanging columella and alar retraction). My nose is still crooked and looks like it has been smushed to one side and my nostrils are still too large, but I can live with those issues. I CANNOT live with the lumpy asymmetrical tip from what I presume is poor placement of cartilage. Can the appearance of the lumps be minimized with filler? I really don't want another surgery so soon. Help!
