Does Columella Drop After Rhinoplasty?

Thank you for your question and I appreciate your concern. However, nine days after surgery is far too early to determine what your nose will look like once the healing process is complete. It can take up to one year - even longer for some patients - for swelling to go down completely and the final outcome to become evident. In the meantime, you should be seeing your surgeon regularly for follow-up visits at this time, so be sure to address any concerns at your next appointment.

It is early to be concerned about your rhinoplasty result. Be sure to ask your surgeon about your concerns.That said, it is quite common for the tip and columella to drop after rhinoplasty and it takes several months to do so.

The columella should drop after rhinoplasty depending what the surgeon did to it during surgery. It takes 6-12 months, so try to be patient.
