Droopy Tip 4 Months Post Surgery, Is this Most Likely the Final Result?
Hi, I had an open rhinoplasty done 4 mths to correct a slight bump, droopy tip and breathing. My nose looks very straight and narrow however the tip is still drooping. the droopiness is not as bad as before but its still evident. My question is, is there a chance that the tip will lift in the next 6 months or so? becuase it looks really droopy especially at night and in photos because of the shadows. I really dont want to have a revision thanks christina

Drooping Tip 4 Months after Rhinoplasty

Hi Christina,
Your nose will not lift up over time. Actually after a rhinoplasty, the tip of the nose is elevated from the swelling and as time passes the tip drops or droops. So what you have is probably what you'll keep.
Best,
