Pollybeak Correction - Simple Procedure?

September 6, 2010
Asked By:teriyaki in Greece

I am considering having a revision rhinoplasty cause I've developed a pollybeak deformity. I have an acquaintance who works as an assistant to a plastic surgeon and he told me that the surgery is a much simpler process that can happen with local anesthesia, it takes less time to heal and that the overall cost of the procedure is significantly smaller than a full nosejob. I can't afford a second nosejob but if this is really the case I would like to look into it. Is there any truth into it?
