Rhinoplasty over reduction - can it still be fixed?

Question

I recently had my primary rhinoplasty at 41 years old. I asked my doctor for very natural and subtle results. I had a wide bulbous nose that spread when I smiled. I asked him to not change how I looked. To just refine and make it just a little smaller. I was so specific that I didnt want to look like I had a nose job. What happened was the complete opposite. He over reduced my alar and tip, my alar wings go up when I smile. Collumela goes down. I dont recognize myself. Can I still be fixed?

Revision rhinoplasty will certainly be able to reshape and create the changes that your described. The decision to undergo rhinoplasty is a strictly personal one, as only you can weigh the pros and cons of the recovery and financial aspects relative to how much the nasal appearance bothers you. A rhinoplasty specialist will be able to comprehensively address the issues you have with your nose. While there are a variety of approaches and techniques employed by various surgeons, it is up to you to do your due diligence to find a rhinoplasty specialist in order to achieve the best results possible. Looking at computer-morphed images with your surgeon during consultation will give you a good idea of what is possible, and also give you a great chance to convey to your surgeon what you envision. @drdonyoo @asianrhinoplasty

Hello. Your doctor ignored your wishes and did his own thing. Your nose, which did not have a Japanese greeting before, made a Japanese greeting after surgery. But don't worry, if you choose a successful surgeon in revision rhinoplasty surgeries, you can get the nose you desire. Please check our Instagram account and RealSelf photos. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile.
