I had a closed rhinoplasty to remove a hump. My nose tip is stiff and looks like it's somewhat hanging up which is making my nostrils appear a bit lengthened. I was assured that my front view would look exactly the same after the surgery and that my surgeron didn't touch my tip at all. No grafts or anything. Will my tip settle to how it used to look once my swelling goes down? Am I worrying for no reason? I've been stressing out about not looking the same even though my surgeron said I would.

In terms of the physical aspect, the rule of thumb is that it takes at least a year for results of a secondary rhinoplasty to settle. Until that point, and even sometimes after, swelling has not fully gone down. The tip often needs to “drop” and assume its final position.
