Will it take longer for my tip to rotate down because I had big bone spurs and a deviated septum fixed?

By zosas90 on 29 Aug 2012

I had rhinoplasty 20 days  ago.  I had the cast taken off at 5 days and was extremely upset to see nostrils staring back at me!  I still had splints in until day 12 and when they took those off my nose looked somewhat better.  My nose swelled back up after that for a few days.  I feel like the swelling is going down but the tip is not going down very much.  Is there still hope that I won't look like a pig for the rest of my life?  I am in my senior year of high school and I hate the way I look right now.

I'm sorry you're not happy with your results right now. I can tell you that three weeks is still early days and it can take up to a year to see your final results. Your tip is probably still pretty swollen. We'd love to see a photo so we can visualize what you're describing.
