Will my Nose Tip Will Get Smaller After Rhinoplasty?

March 17, 2009
Asked By:flowers956 in Texas

I had Rhinoplasty 10 months ago and my tip is still swollen and round. The bridge is small and the tip is huge, and when I laugh my nose looks huge. It looks weird and I feel unattractive. The cartilage is lumpy. If I tape my nose, will the tip change? Will my nose tip get smaller? I had a thinner nose tip before surgery, and I feel like I regret having a nose job. Please help!
