Can the nasal tip be derotated under a closed approach please? I have too much nostril show on display.

Asked By:unhappy10 in Ukiah, CA

I had closed septo/rhino 5 months ago. my tip is rock hard stiff. I hope it drops more. If it doesn't, is it possible I could have the tip derotated under closed please? My surgeon tells me he used dissolvable sutures. He sutured the medial crua higher onto the septum and deprojected my nose. In your expert opinion, is it possible that my tip can still drop after 5 months? I asked for Cheryl Cole's nose, he gave me Miss Piggy/Michael Jackson! I look like their offspring! Thank you.
