Toby G. Mayer, MD answers: Slightly beaky nose after Rhinoplasty

Two weeks after Rhinoplasty, I'm noticing a dip in the middle of my nose between the bridge and the tip, which is causing my nose to look slightly beaky. I also am feeling a slight bump by the top of the bridge of my nose. I have "moderately thick skin," as per my doctor. Is this all normal?

 The swelling will go down and you will not see the way the nose will look for 6-12 months. So for now, relax and when you see your doctor for follow up, he can advise you.
