I am on 3,5 month after rhinoplasty (with straightening of nasal septum). Lately, the tip (started apx. from center of the nose) visibly moved to one side. Since sweelling still remains, I'm hopining that it's just asymmetrical come downs of it. Is there any possibility that it's a complication, and how often such things are observed in practice? I am going to visit the sergeon, but for some reasons your opinion is very important to me! Thank you very much in advnce.
Answer: Nasal tip deviation can happen This can certainly happen after surgery, and it may be due to a number of factors, including swelling, the surgical technique, or even how you healed after surgery. My advice would be to see how it looks after all of the swelling has resolved, and this may take a year or more. If you need to have a revision surgery, it can be done, but you need to wait a minimum of a year after your procedure before considering having any more surgery.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Nasal tip re-correction depends on prior Rhinoplasty The key element of this discussion depends on the type of surgery you had performed during your rhinoplasty. There are many dedicated and expert rhinoplasty surgeons in Armenia and the type of surgery performed will determine the most common reasons for your postoperative nasal tip deviation. If you had septal reset or a significantly deviated septum preoperatively, you may have experienced a condition known as septal memory or septal rebound, where the deviated septum resumes its preoperative deviation and contour after surgery. If a graft was placed onto the nasal tip, the graft may have migrated. If the nasal dome was manipulated, there is a small chance that the nasal tip may have succumbed to normal scarring to cause mild unilateral deviation. In any case, experienced nasal surgeons, especially those in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, wait about one year before undertaking revisional work.

Answer: Shifting & migration of the nasal tip & bridge can occur during the healing phase There is occasionally some shifting and migration of the nasal tip and bridge during the healing phase. There is also asymmetrical swelling in almost every cosmetic rhinoplasty that is performed, and full evaluation of the nose is best done at one year after the original surgery. There is very little movement that can or will occur after one year, and at that point if there are still asymmetries of the nose, those can be addressed with a revision rhinoplasty at that point one year postop.

Answer: Patience is still a virtue Three months after a rhinoplasty is very early to critically evaluate your results regardless of the cause of your tip deviation. As you yourself mentioned, it may be differential swelling causing the appearance. At any rate, you really need to wait a full year for all of the scarring and swelling to subside before a revisionary procedure can be done.

Answer: Swelling or scar contracture can cause this It is too early to tell whether this is due to swelling or scar contracture to one side. Time will tell, but sometimes as the nose heals scarring can cause the nasal tip to go to one side or the other. Your doctor should be able to evaluate this at 1 year.
