about a year ago i had my nose straightened, dorsal bump removed and a cephalic trim to lift a droopy tip. my surgeon did a great job but i cant seem to adapt to the change and i basically want it reversed, i spoke to my surgeon and was told it is possible to droop the tip back by adding cartilage to push it back down and guessing the bridge will be augmented. is it possible to reverse the changes made? if so what cartilage graft would be best to use? and what would be the success rate? thanks

The swelling after a rhinoplasty will take many weeks and even months to fully resolve. It is too early to say that this is the final result of your rhinoplasty. I suggest to my patients that gentle massage of the nose will help resolve swelling.
You should discuss the result and your...
If your nose is stable the day after rhinoplasty is not going to collapse. It will take a number of months for you to get psychologically adjusted to the new look. It probably end up with the wonderful result happy for what you did. Be patient.
It is normal to have dried blood in these areas and this should not affect your results. I suggest to continue keeping the outside areas clean. I do tell my patients they can use some hydrogen peroxide on a Q tip to help as well as keeping the incisions moist with ointment.
