How to fix shrink wrapped skin post rhinoplasty?

January 24, 2024
Asked By:KatieShoepack in New York, New York

I had rhinoplasty in 2017 and directly after the surgery I thought my nose looked good. However, several years later, I noticed that the skin shrink wrapped very tightly and now my nose has a pinched appearance. Is there a way to correct this? Could I use fillers? I have heard that it could be dangerous to use fillers in the nasal folds because of the risk of tissue death. Also, is there a way to lower the tip this late in the game w/o surgery. Thank you for your help!
