Wanted tip work done. PS said have to do bridge work bc tip & bridge will not be balanced. Morph pix bridge was so slightly brought down. But post surgery, bridge is going downward unnatural look. Was sugeon not skilled or is this an ugly style? very bad painful recovery. I lost my look bc this new nose is completely different from old. My question, Does it look like too much bone work was done and is this dangerous in means of collapsing/ weak bones in future? Could I have just done my tip?

Answer: Communication and Understanding Between Patient and Rhinoplasty Surgeon Most Important for Happy Post-Op Patient (and Surgeon)
Hi NoseJob,
The good news is that I do not believe that you are in future danger of having collapse of your nasal bones in the future. The bad news is that there was a disconnect between what your aesthetic rhinoplasty goals were, and what your PS gave you at surgery. The communication between patient and rhinoplasty surgeon pre-operatively is so very important. Patients should be confident that their surgery understands what they want, and what they would be happy with post-operatively. If your nasal appearance continues to bother you at a year or later after your surgery, then you may consider revision rhinoplasty to build up your nasal dorsum. Good luck and be well.

Answer: Dorsal hump reduction during rhinoplasty surgery
Very often, when performing revision of one portion of a nose this may lead to the necessary alteration of other parts of the nose to keep proportions aesthetically pleasing. It is difficult to assess your nose from the photos given. If you truly do have an over resected dorsum, it is possible to augment the area with cartilage or even an implant.
