I am 15 months post op and due for a revision with same surgeon in two weeks. My surgeon said I will not get a substantial result and he might not be able to define my tip from the front anymore. He also made my nose alot wider and scooped which he is fixing in the revision. Can I get a good result as I have thick nasal skin?
