The tip of my nose keeps moving around and doesn't feel attached. why? If I get i go for revision just for the tip, how long will it take for swelling to go down and how long will it take to recover.

Tip Movement after Surgery

Tip movement is normal; the answer to your question depends on the extent of movement and what causes this shifting. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. Recovery and the duration of post-operative swelling will depend on what is surgically necessary.
