Is having a tip plasty alone after initial rhinoplasty safe?

May 21, 2020
Asked By:Calm7722 in Oak Lawn, IL

I had rhinoplasty 10 months ago to straighten my crooked nose and straighten the bump on my nose. I didn't change the tip, but after surgery now I feel like my tip is huge. It even seem bigger than before. It is droopy, big and extremely round. I need a tip plasty, but I'm scared that it would be too risky. Would a simple tip plasty after initial rhinoplasty be safer than a full revision?
