Had a nose job almost a year ago. The results have been horrible. Swelling in the tip that won’t go away. The docotor told me it could be scar tissue, or cartilage. Breathing is bad in right nostril. Really hate the front of my nose which sucks because that’s what I loved about my previous nose. I just wanted the bump taken out. I am so sad and depressed. Want to do a revision but not sure if I should trust me current doctor or find someone else. One side is so much fuller and fatter. The nose tip area gives off a stubby look that I hate. So curious how hard this may be to fix? How risky are revisions??
