Can I get my old nose back with revision?

June 14, 2024
Asked By:pj2025

I am 8 months post op from rhinoplasty and I hate my nose. I had a dorsal hump that I wanted removed. My nose after the surgery is small, flat and shorter than before with no projection. I did not know removing the bump would cause all this. I think the bump was shaved down too much causing a scooped profile when I wanted a straight profile. My tip has also been rotated and looks very un-natural, I had a droopy tip before. Is it possible to add cartilage and rotate the tip to my old nose?
