Is tip-plasty possible for a bulbous Asian tip?

Q: I had a septo-rhinoplasty operation. 18 months post-operation the nose is still crooked and the tip still looks very bulbous. I was wondering if it is possible to get more definition in the tip? After my one year post-op I left the doctors office feeling not very confident with my options. He mentioned there wasn’t much else he could do but try again with another procedure. Should I try another rhinoplasty procedure with this doctor? Are there any other options?

A: It’s important as a patient to feel confident about your surgeon’s abilities as well as your surgeon’s aesthetic.  Not only do you want someone that has the surgical expertise to deliver the results you seek, but also shares your aesthetic sense.

The bottom line is, you don’t want to go through all the time, effort, and expense of a revision surgery until you are 100% confident that your surgeon can deliver the results you are looking for.
