I had an open surgery for a bridge reduction and asked my surgen to shorten my columella. the lateral view is nice now but i cannot accept its width from front now. I know it's still swollen and i should wait 6-12 months to see the final result, but when i google swelling timeline images, all of them have similar noses to thier final results. I didnt want my nose to be wider. I loved the cartilage shape and width before surgery. I am afraid the width would remain similar to the current image!

You can rotate the tip of the nose via a closed approach. Unless there is extensive work needing to be done or in the case of a revision the closed approach should be adequate for tip rotation.
The rate of revision rhinoplasty has been reported at 5-15% nationally. That means that for 500,000 rhinoplasties performed in the US each year, approximately 25,000 to 75,000 people will need a revision...This number includes both small "touch-ups" and major revisions - botched...
While, yes, a tipplasty can reduce and refine the tip of your nose, it is hard to give you advice without seeing you or seeing photos of you. If you do not want to post public photos, you can send photos to any of the surgeons on this site using their websites address.
