Over turned nose as a result of closes rhinoplasty, can it go back to its original position if it's "released"?

February 12, 2014
Asked By:RevisionDone in USA

I had a closed rhinoplasty. I used to have a long nose and now it's short. I asked the doctor how he made the tip look rotated and he said he placed a columnar strut. Would removing this strut and sutures in revision make the nose back to its original length and shape? I really hate having a short nose and would like my nose back to its original size! I don't like seeing up my nostrils when I look in the mirror :(
