Three months ago I had a tip rhinoplasty. The aim was to make the tip slightly slimmer in front view since I had a bulbous nose. From a side view my nose looked OK. However, the surgeon removed much more cartelage than we agreed on, and now I look like a different person. He shortened the tip a lot. I am very sad and disapointed and feel like my new nose is too short for my face. Could my nose be made longer again? Which surgeons should I consult for this procedure?
