Asked By:Barebones33 in Tampa, FL

I had (closed) tip Rhinoplasty several years ago. Not sure the results were Better than the side effects. Alar retraction on right side is the worst. I will post a before Rhinoplasty and after. The bridge wasn’t touched. However I’m curious is shaving down the radix is something I should consyin the revision. I don’t want to jeopardize structure, and will that possibly create a flattened/shorten nose? Thank you for your valuable time.
