Can a Spreader Graft Widen the Tip of my Nose After a Rhinoplasty Result That I Hate??

June 19, 2011
Asked By:mermaidfb

I had a tip rhinoplasty because I was unhappy with my bulbous nose and big drooping tip. I am thrilled that the ball on the very end and the dropping tip are gone, however, and I am not happy with the new shape of my tip from the front angle. I wanted to preserve the round "ball" because it was what defined me as a person. If I shove tissue balls or q-tips into my nostrils, it spreads my nose out to the shape that I want it again. Is there a surgical way to correct this back? Please help.
