Hi there, I completed my rhinoplasty four days ago (13th May) and this was an open surgery. I previously had a droopy nasal tip and now I look very piggish with the tip being upright. I did have a full rhinoplasty completed, to make my nose slender and apparently I had a small hump at the top of my nose.
