I had a rhinoplasty to reduce the width of my nose from the front and was explicit about not wanting to lose any length at all cost. I'm 4 mo PO and it seems as though the bottom portion of my nose has just been "removed", and my op report says that the inferior portion of my septum was excised. Is it possible that it's the struts alone creating this foreshortened tip? If so, is it reversible??
