Will Up Turned Nose After Rhinoplasty Improve Later On?

June 10, 2009
Asked By:nurseB in Vancouver, BC

I had Rhinoplasty, only to remove a small bump. Surgeon was not supposed to turn up the tip of my nose, now 1 month post-op he admits he did "just a little". I hate it, looks like a snout. Will it improve (come down more), what should I do?
