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?

It sounds like you have collapse of either the valve that helps you breathe or the cartilage in the nostril.an operation to place a cartilage graft will probably help-either a spreader graft or an Alar graft, as indicated
