Will the Nose Go Back to Normal After Tip Rhinoplasty?

The nose will go back to being normal after a tip rhinoplasty. If the nose becomes broken in an injury, it can easily be reset, repaired and straightened, whether or not you have had a tip rhinoplasty. It will not be any harder for the doctor to fix your nose with any previous cartilage grafts since the bones are typically broken and twisted when the nose is fractured.

Once a patient is fully healed, a tip graft or columellar strut graft should be nearly as resilient to trauma as any of the cartilages in an unoperated nose. The nose does, after all, have cartilage at the tip normally. The nose is not indestructible, though, so if you had to have surgery on the nose after some trauma, the previous scars (internal and external) do add a greater challenge. But, hey, if you've invested your time, money, and suffering in a rhinoplasty shouldn't you do... more
