Is a tip lift via filler possible if I have a columellar strut graft from previous surgical rhinoplasty? (Photo)

January 8, 2024
Asked By:monil in Washington, District of Columbia

Hi! I had surgical rhinoplasty a couple of years ago to partly address my pointy tip. Unfortunately, after healing, my tip appears pointier. Is it possible to achieve a lifted tip with filler if I have a graft there that makes the tip relatively inflexible and hard to manipulate? Ideally, I’d like to go from left pic to edited right pic
