Can tongue in groove be released/reversed? Could my nose be “let down” or derotated sort to speak with a revision?

Asked By:shnozz21 in Scotland, United Kingdom

My doctor used tongue in groove to reduce movement of my tip and lift it slightly but it doesn’t suit my face. I suited a slightly longer nose better. My doctor said he removed minimal cartilage when doing the TIG and I can see that the tip is really still the same except for being higher and slightly upwardly rotated. I read that TIG is reversible but not sure exactly what that means for me. Could my nose be “let down” or derotated so to speak with a revision to reverse the TIG?
