Unhappy with my septorhinoplasty - could this be treated with rib cartilage? (Photo)

Asked By:Kryshill in Walnut Creek, California

I had a septorhinoplasty 4.5 months ago ( was told by the surgeon she could keep my side profile the same. I just wanted subtle tip refinement from the front. My surgeon ended up performing osteotomies, shortening my nose and leaving me with a wider bridge (granted I know the knows swells for a year+), a slope, and too much nostril show. I’ve been so upset since my procedure and really want my side profile back and thin bridge/less nostril show again. Would this be done with rib cartilage?
