Is there such a thing as a rhinoplasty "touch up"?

October 3, 2018
Asked By:dranoela in Toronto, ON

I'm 6 months PO and there's still a small boney bump on the side of my bridge. This makes a nice profile, but my 3/4 view does not have the smooth, straight look I had hoped for. Also my tip is a bit droopier than I wanted. I never thought I'd be wanting a revision, but these flaws still bug me! I don't need to restructure or any cartilage grafts... but would a small rasping procedure and tiny minor tip lift be considered a "touch up" by the doctor and less risky than a complete revision?
