Does Tip Rotation Go Down and Inward with Swelling Decreasing?

I had a tip projection and rotation done May 21st, on May 26th I had the splint and bandages removed, and today is May 29th and I am very concerned. I know it is still early, but I feel like my tip is way too high up, how much more it will rotate down?

WAY TOO EARLY to tell or even respond to your concerns. Please see your surgeon ASAP. I would wait at least 6 weeks. But you may have a real issue of "over resection". From MIAMI DR. B

Tip changes and Swelling after Rhinoplasty

8 days after your procedure, your nose looks nothing like it will in the end. Try not to be concerned. If basic tip work was done, then it usually will look a little high.

Usually, the week after the tape and cast comes off the nose drops a lot. However, some people take longer... more
