My nose has gotten larger and more pronounced within the last few years and I really want it to be more upturned but I don't want that pig look! Or is it possible to have the skin below the tip of the nose (I don't know the technical term!) pulled up? Would this be the correct procedure with what I'm trying to achieve? Thank you so much!

Answer: Rhinoplasty to Make Nose Slightly More Upturned?
If it is a recurrent nasal infection several
months post rhinoplasty, one should consider another cause including MRSA or a
residual suture. Only as a last resort, if it is recurring, then an infectious
disease consult may be useful as well as operative intervention to remove any
foreign bodies...
Sounds like you are on track. It will take months for the swelling to resolve. Check with your PS but most suregons use dissolvable sutures on the inside and that's possibly what you are feeling/seeing. They should be starting to fall out about now. Best, Dr K
Thank you for your post. It is possible that you had a straight nose as a child and a crooked nose as an adult due to the growth of your nasal bones and septum, which may have bent as they grew. The good news is that this is something that we can address with a septoplasty and rhinoplasty...
