The bridge of my nose has been over resected and scooped in my previous rhinoplasty and I am hoping a revision can fix this . Can the bridge of the nose be build to make it bigger and improve the shape. In the photos I used scar gel to build the nose bridge into my desired shape to give an idea of what I’m looking for. Does anyone who specialize in revisions knows if this can be surgicaly done and are my expectations realistic in the photos ?
