Is it possible to rebuild the nasal bridge and restore my dorsal hump? (photos)

Polite392852Apr 29, 2024
In my primary rhinoplasty the doctor shortened my nose, shaved my bridge and narrowed it.

Hi! First of all, remember that you are only 6mo from your surgery; you are still healing. There is definitely a possibility that what you feel as too much projection will come down bc the tip is the last place to lose all of that. That being said, I think your nose looks fine, and for that...
