I got revision rhino with rib almost a year ago and now my nose has this huge crease above my lip and it prevents my top teeth from showing all the way. I loved my nose before this revision but I could not breathe and multiple revision experts agreed I needed projection added back in order breathe, so I consented to that. My surgeon told me it would support my upper lip and if anything would lift the lip a tiny bit but the exact opposite has happened. Can this be reversed?
