Too early to tell

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD answers: Is my nose tip too round following rhinoplasty?

I had Rhinoplasty done four months ago, and I feel that the end or tip of my nose from profile view looks a little round. Also, there are two lines on each side of my nostrils that don't look too great. I'm more concerned about the rounded tip, though. I'm thinking about having another Rhinoplasty done, as I've heard most of the swelling has gone down by now and the final shape will be set. Could someone please give me some advice on how my nose looks and if I should go through another surgery?

you are still very early in your recovery period and the tip of the nose takes the longest to see the full effects. It is very common to have rounding of the end of the nose for the first 8 - 12 months. At 4 months there is still swelling present, gently massage of the nose can be beneficial especially in this early time period. It is most important that you wait until all of the swelling has resolved. If you reach the one year point and are still not satisfied with the result then it may be time to seek another opinion.
