Hello everyone I am 6 months post op When my doctor took the cast off my nose literally looked so perfect for about a week Then started to look different i am not sure if it swelling or not my nose tip lost its definition and also dropped a bit and that left me so stressed My question (Is my nose ever will look the same as the first day when i took the cast off?) (Is my nose will point up again after a year?) When will my tip get in shape like it was at the first day?

Answer: Post-op rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty is a very challenging operation, and one of the reasons for this is that the results aren't seen for many months and even a couple years later. Despite 6 months feeling like an eternity when you're not satisfied, it's still early in the healing process for your nose.

Answer: If the swelling above your tip feels firm, you may have a polybeak. Sometimes bumps above the tip of the nose can occur after the splint comes off due to nasal tip drooping. If the area feels soft, you can ask your surgeon for a steroid injection. If it feels firm like cartilage, it's possible this may not improve. If you have any questions, consider getting a second opinion. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Answer: What you should know about rhinoplasty recovery Thank you for your question and for providing photos. I’m sorry that you’re unhappy with your current rhinoplasty results. Though much of the swelling is reduced within four months, your nose will be in a phase of recovery and can continue to change throughout the following year. It is generally suggested to wait until this entire recovery process is complete to see the final results before considering a revision procedure.

Answer: Rhinoplasty post-op Hello! Thank you for your question.The swelling post-rhinoplasty surgery can last for a year (even 18 months). I recommend you to wait 6 more months to see the final result. Then if you are still not happy with the outcome, you can get in touch with your surgeon.
