Revision to lower and de-project tip 6 months post-op (photos)
March 3, 2024
Asked By:dropletfrost in Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid, Spain
I had a procedure done roughly ~6m ago with the goal to reduce my dorsal hump and remove some of the droop in my nose. Generally unhappy with the result — nose has been lifted and projected a lot. As part of the procedure I had a columellar strut graft (which I suspect is too long), sutures and a lot of tip support. Essentially the tip of my nose feels rock hard and like the strut wants to break through it. What are my options to bring back some of the natural look and feel back?
