I Want More of a Lift to my Nasal Tip...Revision Rhino With No Change?
Hi! About a week ago, I underwent a revision rhinoplasty to file down some cartilage that had developed on the bridge of my nose after my inital surgery. Also, I asked that the tip be slightly lifted to give more of a shorter appearance. Immediately after surgery my nose looked exactly how wanted it to look. However, a couple of days later the tip seems to have gone back down to it's original position. Is it possible that the swelling on my tip is causing it to pull down rather than lift?

Shifting after revision
The nasal shape will shift after surgery p and down. Depending on which day you look at it it can please you or horrify you. Relax and wait for the final result.

Don't judge your result 1 week after surgery. Tip selling can mask tip width and position right after surgery.
