Is my nose tip too round following rhinoplasty?

Your picture shows a result that is quite nice and I am certain that the tip of the nose is still stiff. You may not be completely sold on the result however four months is too soon to give final judgement. Revision is possible at this time but I would urge caution. I see softening and refinement in most after... more

You will not see your true final result for at least one year after a rhinoplasty.  Unless there is something dramatically wrong with your early result, you should wait and see if some of your issues don't resolve with time.  Repetitive rhinoplasty surgery often causes more problems than it solves so... more

From your picture, it looks as if you are experiencing some normal swelling. Unless you are experiencing redness, drainage, etc, this may be expected from the surgery that was performed However, it is best that you report this to your surgeon. If it is of any consolation, we generally do not take any... more

As a doctor who performs many revision rhinoplasties, I typically wait a minimum of one year for the most straightforward of corrections. If you had an open tip rhinoplasty, tip delivery or tip defatting procedures, the time I will wait will be even longer, and will depend on the texture and softness of your... more

There is a modest amount of swelling remaining in the nose and especially the nasal tip at four months after rhinoplasty.  There will be continued subtle changes in your nasal tip for two years.  It is definately too early to consider any kind of revision surgery, especially (as you've heard in many... more

I must give a compliment to your surgeon.  The nose looks great.  Your tip is still actively healing. There is STILL considerable swelling present, and this will take up to 2 years to totally resolve. So, my advice to you is not to have any more nose surgery until the swelling resolves. Most... more

I agree with Dr. Kasden. Your nose will continue to evolve over the next 8-12 months. The tip is the last to evolve. In your profile picture you can see a significant amount of swelling especially at the columella (the hanging strip of tissue below your tip that separates the nostrils.) You should ask you... more

Your nose, particularly the tip can be swollen for well over a year. Let it settle, and keep your surgeon informed of how you feel and what you think. The shape will keep getting better over the coming months. If you choose to re-operate too quickly, then your outcome will be less predictable. If you think... more

It is difficult to tell from the single view that you posted. However, I will tell you that 4 months is still a bit early to make a final assessment. I usually wait at least 6 months to 1 year.  Remember revision surgery is a potential for more problems.  Often, patients find after they have had... more

You are still very early in your recovery period and the tip of the nose takes the longest to see the full effects. It is very common to have rounding of the end of the nose for the first 8 - 12 months. At 4 months there is still swelling present, gently massage of the nose can be beneficial especially in... more
