African American revision rhinoplasty: would like my tip deprojected and nostrils evened out - advice?

Question

Hello, I have attached pictures of my current nose and my operative report. Please review both to assist with your response. I would like my tip deprojected. It I too elevated and pointy and I believe it's causing my nostrils to street and to be uneven, because it is overly extended. Also what can be done to make my nostrils more even? My bridge is too elevated/ tall. I would like it brought down or even removed. In my notes is the doctor saying he changed my original nose as well as implant?

Hello of couse you can have a surgery on your nose you need to make smaller your bridge and make straight your septum inside your nose

Good Afternoon! Your tip can be deprojected which would make it wider on the front view. The bridge can be adjusted in addition to the nostrils. Morphing an image in clinic with your surgeon will help to determine what your goals are. I can't view all of the operative report to know exactly what kind of implant may be used. It's unusual to use anything like silicone but GoreTex is used by some surgeons. I would seek consultation with another surgeon if you're not comfortable with your current one. Hope this helps you!

If there’s an implant in your nose removing it may give you less protection. Personally I think you have a nice result

Hello, your asymmetrical  nostrils problem is very easy to correct, just by giving one sticht, thru the same  scar of the alar resection, to reduce the more open one, with local anesthesia. As for the projection and tip of the nose I find them really beautiful. I want you to know  also, that in any human been pairs of the body are never symmetrical.
My advise : Try not to get in so many surgical procedures in your nose because each one will leave fibrosis, and each time this will get you into more complicated surgeries and you  will want more changes each time. We call this the "Michael  Jackson Syndrome", in which he completely destroy his nose, due to his desire of pefection.
