I had a Rhinoplasty done by an ENT Facial Plastic Surgeon a few years ago. The result ended in a Pinched Tip. Because of this I make noise while breathing, and this causes problems in sleep, and day to day life. All I wanted was a natural looking tip. I can take a Q tip and hold the nostrils out slightly, and the sound goes away. Needless to say, I am very disappointed in the outcome of my surgery. This has caused problems at home. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you have lack of support of your lower lateral cartilage which allows your nose to collapse when you breath in. This can be corrected with a revision rhinoplasty with cartilage grafts to the alar rims.
