Closed Rhinoplasty - Tip Raised Too High
I had a closed rhinoplasty ten days ago, and my tip seems too high. The PS said he would raise it slightly, but it seems to have been overdone. I posted a before and after. Maybe I am just not used to it yet, but is there any chance that the tip will fall down a bit?

Tip issue
Your profile view of your rhinoplasty looks very nice. The tip will in all likelihood come down a bit more, but it looks very nice now from the view I see.

High Tip
Hello,
You are ten days out and there is no way of assessing your nose. In general, your tip should fall, especially if a closed technique was performed. Additionally, swelling at the base of the nose near the upper lip acts like a jack, hoisting up the tip. As this subsides, your tip will drop.
Try not to worry right now; be patient and give it time.

Tip elevation after closed rhinoplasty
There is certainly swelling at the base of your nose this early after surgery that would cause the tip to rotate upward. Depending on how the tip cartilages were secured and what was done exactly will determine how much settling to expect. It usually takes several weeks for most of this settling to occur.

Do not worry about how your nose looks for the next three months. It will take at least that long to settle out.

Your tip will fall!
I don't know why surgeons don't tell their patients that the tip WILL FALL! Always! The swelling keeps it up for weeks.
