One year post septorhinoplasty - is my nose tip too lifted and pointy?

Question

I received a septorhinoplasty last year. I think the Dr. pulled in my columella to create tension to straighten the tip of my nose. my nostrils you can see them A LOT and before that was not a problem. I didn’t know my nostrils were assymetrical. now that they lifted my tip, every time i took a photo or I look up, you can see them My nose before was a bit wider and straight, but now the nostrils are the problem and probably the tip is too lifted and pointy ?? What do u think

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a revision in order to perform nasal tip deprojection to shorten the entire tip complex and placement of extended spreader grafts in order to de-rotate the tip to show less nostril exposure, and improve the symmetry of your nostrils. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
