Sometimes there is a lot a surgeon can improve and sometimes there is very little you can do to change your appearance after the first or second surgery. Since most issues can be addressed, be sure you are very open about areas you want to be improved. Make sure you know how your new nose will appear, as having realistic expectations lowers the chance for additional surgeries. Here are a few complaints and how they could be changed: * The nose still sticks out or down too far. Cartilage from the tip can be removed to shorten the nose.
