Q: Does the tip drop after Rhinoplasty?

Hi Antoinette,

The nose continues to change for years after rhinoplasty. It is most important that your surgeon leave a stable foundation of bone and cartilage so that as the nose evolves over time, it does not "shrink-wrap" into a "done, pinched" nose.

An experienced rhinoplasty surgeon will take into account the changes that the nose undergoes over time during surgery to create a nose that stands the test of time. Communicate what you want and hopefully your surgeon will be able to achieve those goals.

Good luck and be well.
