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: 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. Keep in mind that each subsequent nose surgery becomes more complex due to the loss of structural support and scar tissue. The importance of experience, expertise, and artistry cannot be overstated. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to review your surgical history, examine your concerns, and determine the best course of action.

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. Best regards!
