Nose Tip Too High After Rhinoplasty

Absolutely. The cast and nasal tapes are applied so as to elevate your tip during the early post operative period. They provide early support to your nose to ensure a good result. Once they are removed you will see an imediate descent of your tip to the position your surgeon intended.
 

The tip should look like it's too high up while the splint is still on. It will drop after the splint is removed. Be patient. Rhinoplasties take a long time to settle in to the appearance that will be permanent. You should look fine after the removal of the cast.

This is very common and most often intentional because the tip does drop a small amount during the healing process. Patience and time are your best allies.
