I had my first rhinoplasty in 1999. It was a closed rhinoplasty. He broke my nose to narrow the bridge and the tip. In 2014, I got a revision because I had visible bones on my bridge and i had a bump on my profile. She took cartilage from my ear and put it on the bridge of my nose. She put spreader grafts in because she said I had an inverted v deformity. The graft and bones on the bridge are very visible. All I want is an even tip and a smooth bridge with a straight profile. Is this attainable?
