Answer: The nasal tip can lower several millimeters over the course of a year following rhinoplasty surgery. If you are concerned that your nasal tip is too high up in the air, sit tight for a while since it may lower spontaneously, depending on your examination. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Swelling Hello! To answer your question, generally swelling may make your nose appear larger than what your outcome will be once the swelling subsides. With any Rhinoplasty, swelling may linger for up to 12 months, but most of the swelling dissipates by your three month mark.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. It really depends on the specific techniques used by your surgeon during the surgery. With certain techniques, such as septal extension graft or tongue in groove technique the tip will not drop with time after surgery, and if it is over-rotated it will likely stay in that position. This is one of many reasons it is so critical to evaluate your surgeon’s long-term before and after pictures on their website. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
