Q: I am an Asian patient that previously had a medpor graft removed because it was infected, but it was holding a very wide droopy tip closed while narrowing it. My surgeon replaced this with a shield graft & I feel it only bulkily augments the tip, without narrowing it. How do I narrow the sides of my nose & my nasal tip again without adding too much projection? What sutures or techniques can I ask my surgeon about?
A: Just as not all sculptures made of marble are masterpieces, surgeons will achieve different results even when using the same techniques. More important than what to ask your surgeon, is to ask yourself if you have done your due diligence and research in finding a surgeon capable of delivering the results you seek.
