Does the Nose Tip Go Down Years After Surgery?

Full healing on a rhinoplasty takes approximately one year after the initial surgery. Extremely subtle changes can occur even after the first year. Initially, the tip will drop after the rhinoplasty procedure, but that really depends on many different factors including the type of operation performed where the cartilaginous struts and grafts are placed in the tip. Most of the tip drop occurs in the first six months after the procedure. It is important to have your rhinoplasty performed by someone who has performed thousands of nasal surgeries and is very well versed in all of the techniques regarding rhinoplasty.

 All tips drop in the first 12 months after surgery. All noses drop after 30-50 years of aging. Do not have the doctor elevate the tip for aging decades later! A good rhinoplasty surgeon won't do this anyway.

Most of the healing after rhinoplasty occurs during the first year. There are subtle changes that occur over the next few years. However, the nose also ages. Like all parts of the body, as we age, the nose will droop. Ligaments stretch and skin sags.
In rhinoplasty we perform surgical maneuvers in anticipation of what the nose should look like approximately one year from surgery. So, I suggest you find a rhinoplasty expert and let them plan surgery as they see fit for your nose.
