My Nose is Too Short Following Rhinoplasty

December 3, 2010
Asked By:gelee30 in Dallas, TX

Hi, I had an open Rhinoplasty 6 weeks ago and my nose is shorter now than before the surgery. We didn't discuss shortening the length of my nose, but now it appears shorter and raised up looking for my face. My surgeon used suture techiniques and a strut graft in the tip, which I feel is preventing my nose from falling back to its original longer-looking position. Is the strut preventing my tip from falling back to it's original postion? And about how long does it take? Thank you for time!
