I am 4 months post op and I’m not satisfied with my results. My natural nose was longer on the front view. Now my nose feels very short and lifted from the front. Looks almost cut off? I don’t mind the side profile but I don’t like how much nostril show I have in the front and how the tip is well above the base of my nostrils now. Can I de rotate to help this? Thoughts? I feel I will want a revision once I am one year to address these issues

Have you done any steroid injections? this looks like it's itching for one. Otherwise it's too hard to tell what could be going on without access to your op notes
