Is It Possible to Put Cartilage Back into the Tip of my Nose to Lengthen It?

August 12, 2011
Asked By:Summerbee

Hello, I had rhinoplasty surgery one month ago to remove a small hump and reduce the tip. I can appreciate that my profile now looks neater but I feel that from the front view the tip of my nose now looks too short and unbalanced for my face. I am so unhappy and feel like I have made a huge mistake. I realise it is too soon for a revision but it would really help me to know whether my nose could be made longer again and what are the chances of it going wrong? Thank you.
