“Concerns, still very early in healing process”
Revision rhinoplasty: NOT worth it
Cost: $11,500
Pain: Severe
Pain: Severe
Revision rhinoplasty satisfaction: Fair
I had a revision rhinoplasty performed two months ago. My doctor, who is very reputable, said the procedure was complicated taking longer than anticipated. The bridge of my nose was narrowed, the tip shortened and some loose cartilage in the tip rebuilt.
While I know it is still VERY early in the healing process, I am concerned because the tip of my nose seems longer and still quite bulbous, with the collumella hanging a bit (basically I hate my profile, more so than before the surgery). Is it possible that the tip can still retract upward and in a bit while healing?

I have a very similar problem and my doctor is in Beverly Hills as well...hmmmm. Anxious to see the replies you get...I'm in the same boat as you.

I'm so sorry to hear that...I feel for you wholeheartedly. I hope that in time we will both see the results we expected. Even though I've heard numerous times that it takes a good year for the nose tip to settle down, I just can't imagine my nose changing enough to where I'm going to be completely happy with it...time will tell I guess. (The answer to your question is "i").
