I had an open rhinoplasty three weeks ago, and I'm concerned about the current results. My goal for the surgery was to remove the side and front humps around my eyes and raise the tip. While I'm very satisfied with my new profile, and the bone is much slimmer around my eyes, the bottom 2/3 of my nose seems much more bulbous, and my tip appears way rounder (maybe kind of droopy too) than even before the surgery. Can I expect this to adjust with time? Is this still swelling? I don't regret having had it done, but I just hate that after all this, I still feel self conscious about my nose. Thanks!
We pioneered open rhinoplasty in the US more than 30 years ago. We said then that you trade outstanding exposure for a longer time of tip swelling--so, it will go down each month.
The length, however, probably won't change. You should discuss this with your surgeon.
