Asked By:poppoppy20 in Beverly Hills, CA

I have a really nice nose and I don't want the tip of it to droop when I get older. If the septoplasty is not performed perfectly, is there a chance the tip of my nose/cartilage in my nose will get botched/weakened and then drip down/get bigger/more swelled up over time?

Answer: The nose will drop down over time. Slight upward rotation during surgery will rejuvenate the tip.
