Why is the Tip Slighty Pointy but Above It is Still Round After Tip Rhinoplasty?

Tags: bulbous, round, tip

I know that it is still early, it has only been 7 days, but I am worried because I can see that the tip itself is more pointed yet the other part of the tip (behind the front of my nose) is still round and bulbous. Is this a sign of things to come? I wish I could show a before picture but I have never actually taken one from the front because of how it looked. I know I am probably stressing too much and should just wait and see what happens, some reassurance would be nice. Thank you.

One week post op after rhinoplasty.

It is too soon to worry about your nose. It takes 6-12 months to know and it is impossible to make any determination before then. Be patient and I'm sure it will be better in a few weeks.

7 Days after Rhinoplasty

All noses are swollen one week after rhinoplasty. It is much too early to answer your question; wait at least another 6 months before evaluating your nose.

Tip rhinoplasty

Without knowing the details of your specific procedure, I am not able to give you any specific advice other than it is likely that you have swelling that will resolve leaving the tip appearing smaller and thinner.
