Its been almost 5 weeks since i had rhinoplasty. I asked for my tip to not be raised at all. As soon as i saw myself i knew there was something wrong. It is so high i doubt it will ever drop to how it was before.. Will it drop in the weeks 5-8? Most importantly, will it drop to how it was before? Thank you!!
Answer: Will my nose tip drop? Hello dwaynewadee,Thanks for your question.I am assuming that the upturned side profile on the left is the After shot?If so, you are currently over-rotated. It might drop a tiny bit with time, but I doubt you will go back to the position seen on the right side photo. When nasal tissues are swollen they tend to rotate up like you see in the mirror currently. As the swelling subsides, the tissues in the tip relax and rotate back down.After one year, your nose will finish healing. At that point you can see about getting revision rhinoplasty to try and drop the tip further if still an issue. Even doing this will not guarantee a return to before surgery.Good luck,Dr. Shah

CONTACT NOW Answer: May Drop Slightly The tip of the nose may slightly drop after healing from a rhinoplasty surgery. Assuming the photo on the left is the after shot, it is not very likely that it will drop to an extent and get where it was in the before shot. If it bothers you, you may consider a revision rhinoplasty after completing your healing period which should be around 1 year after your surgery.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Rhinoplasty recovery Hang in there! As long as the shape and swelling are improving week to week, however slowly, there is still hope for the final outcome. Ask you plastic surgeon if there would be any benefit to taping or a steroid injection that can help speed your recovery. It takes over a year to realize the final results of rhinoplasty. Think of it this way, one millimeter of swelling would not even be noticeable in a breast augmentation. One millimeter may be the whole difference between success and failure in a rhinoplasty. It will take well over a year before that last millimeter of swelling has gone away and right now there is even more swelling as it is still very early.

Answer: Will Your Nasal Tip Drop After Rhinoplasty? I am not certain which photo represents the postoperative picture. If it is the picture on the left, the nasal tip is unlikely to drop and a revision is likely in your future. If the "after" picture is on the right, kudos to your Surgeon because nasal lengthening and de-rotation are not so easy to accomplish.

Answer: 1 month after rhinoplasty, some advices: Thank you very much for enquire.It's too early to make value judgments with only five weeks after a rhinoplasty.Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
