Is This Polly Beak One Week Post Op?

July 31, 2011
Asked By:Enlighten me in North America

I had rhinoplasty one week a go with the goal of defining my tip and making my profile less concave. As you can see from my photos, the tip is hard and swollen which I understand to be normal at this point but I am concerned about the profile as it has not improved much. Can I expect the profile to improve once the swelling subsides or is this polly beak so soon after surgery? Additionally, since I'm early post op any suggestions you have for improving my outcome would be appreciated. Thanks
