I’m considering a revision rhinoplasty for more refinement in my tip. I am fairly satisfied with the left side view of my nose, but on the right-sided view there is some asymmetry and still a slightly bulbus tip, that lacks refinement. I find myself never wanting to take photos from this angle. There is also a slight bump on my bridge which I had never had previously. And from the underside view of my nose, you can see there is a slight asymmetry to the nostrils. Wondering if a revision would be warranted to correct these issues and give me that tip refinement I’ve been seeking.
