I had my first rhinoplasty almost exactly a year ago and started to notice some flaws at about a few weeks to a month after the procedure. As swelling has gone down it has, of course, gotten worse. I did notice in pictures that I had a minor imperfection before the surgery but now it is very noticeable in the tip of my nose. My doctor has offered to do a revision without the surgical costs because he wasn't satisfied with the results either. I'm confused as to what to do.
