Is is Possible to Reverse a Rhinoplasty?

April 5, 2010
Asked By:anon111711 in UK

I had rhinoplasty 2 years ago to have 3 things done: 1) Dorsal hump reduced 2) Septum shortened 3) Nostrils reduced I am now starting to regret 1) and 2). Reason being, the smaller dorsal hump seems to accentuate the bulbessness of my nasal tip, and by shortening my septum, my nostrils actually appear more pronounced. I would like to know whether it is possible to get my dorsal hump back to how it was, and to have my septum lengthened slightly so that my nostrils do not look so upturned. If so, how effective would the results be?
