I know it is still very soon but I am still worried. I underwent rhinoplasty about 11 days ago. I showed my surgeon a picture of exactly what I wanted and I specified I did not want a pointy tip and I didn't want my nose up in the air I wanted it straight, well when my bandages came off it was exactly that. It's not straight and it looks almost fake will it has dropped but not as much as I'd like will it look more natural?
Answer: You appear to have a pleasing nasal profile eleven days after rhinoplasty surgery. A single up-close photo rarely shows the whole story, but your nasal profile appears to show a nice nasal bridge. The tip of your nose may drop a bit over the next month or two, depending on your condition. If you're unhappy with your nose in another month, discuss your concerns with your surgeon and consider getting a second opinion. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Answer: It will likely come down to some degree In most cases, if a tip was turned upward, it usually settles downward a bit over the next few months. Whether or not this happens and to what extent depends on how the surgery was done. Definitely discuss this with your surgeon. If the tip is still more upturned than you like after one year, you can consider revision to lengthen (see video below). But for now I would be patient.

Answer: Rhinoplasty It is too early to tell. It may drop a bit. It would have been helpful to see your original profile as well.

Answer: Upturned nose 11 days after rhinoplasty will most probably go down It is very likely that your nose will come down in time. This may take weeks. It is not unusual for the nose to look upturned if the tip and/or columella were addressed during surgery. The swelling and the maneuvers performed on this area can make the nose look upturned but this will settle with time. Your surgeon is the best person to be able to tell you how much
