I am 5 months post-septorhinoplasty, and I totally regret it. I wish there were a miracle to bring my hump back. From the front view, I miss my tip and what I think is called the infra-tip break. My nostrils have become smaller, though I didn’t have stitches on the sides of my nose. How much of my original tip can be restored? Is it possible to make my dorsum more prominent and enlarge the nostrils? I also feel like my lip sits differently. Can revision correct this? Thank you!
