7 months ago, I had rhinoplasty. The doctor used rib cartilage. I wanted a narrower, defined tip. Also a defined bridge and slightly more narrow. But mainly I wanted a defined tip. Initially there had been some change. But after about 4 months it started to look like my old nose. 7 months on, I have seen minimal change to the tip. am so disappointed I would not have a second surgery. Will steroid shots work?
