Hello, I am only 2 weeks post-Op. Do you think my nose is still over-projected? i feel it is but i could be crazy. Also will the projection go down at all as the swelling does? Thanks.
Answer: Overprojecting tip after rhinoplasty Many times after rhinoplasty the nasal tip will before overprojected due to placement of columellar struts or tips grafts. The tip often feels rigid. It softens over time and deprojects so I would surely wait at least 9 months before making any judgments.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Swelling from rhinoplasty From your photos, it is difficult to assess your current situation - they are taken from different angles and at too far a distance. That being said, at 2 weeks post-operatively, it is not the time to assess your postoperative outcome. Swelling can take a lot of time to resolve from either an open or closed rhinoplasty. If you are not happy with the way things look after 3 months, you should discuss your thoughts with your plastic surgeon. It would not be appropriate to re-operate before that time, and any minor adjustments are to be made, they can often be performed rather easily after that time.

Answer: Remaining over-projection post rhinoplasty At two weeks after your rhinoplasty, there is still a great deal of swelling. Deciding whether or not your nose remains too over projected should be done after it has fully healed, which can take twelve months. Once fully healed, the nose will no longer undergo subtle changes, allowing you and your surgeon the ability to determine if revision surgery would be appropriate. For now, try to be patient.

Answer: Too early to judge nose projection You are only 2 weeks out from surgery. It is way to early to determine if your nose is over projected. The final results are not definite until a year after surgery. Just focus on recovering now and allow time to take care of things.

Answer: Overprojection is normal at this time. It depends on how the nose was done as to how much projection is due to swelling. It usually will go down. Wait at least 6 months before doing anything.
