Is It Possible to Reduce Nose Bridge Height and Bring Tip Back Up After Rhinoplasty?

August 27, 2011
Asked By:MelindaWA in Seattle, WA

I had a rhinoplasty last year. I had a ski slope nose. My surgeon used cartilage grafts from my ear to build my bridge up and he also brought my tip down. I find that my old nose fit my face better (I have very soft features) and I don't like how my new nose looks from the front or sides. Is it possible to remove the cartilage grafts and bring my nose tip back up? If so, how do I find the best surgeon for my revision case?
