My columella is straight. Will this improve if I give it time? (Photo)

Question

I had rhinoplasty in Turkey about 4.5 months ago. I really wanted something natural and not to upturned. I hated my nose right out of surgery, it was extremely upturned. However, it slowly started to drop. My only issue is that my columella is straight. I don’t know if this will be resolved as swelling subsides but it bothers me a lot. It’s very unnatural looking from the front and side. My surgeon keeps assuring me it only needs time. Is he speaking the truth?

Your nasal tip will continue to drop for about a year. Overall I think you have a nice result at this point and it will improve with time

Hello! Thank you for your question. From the photos you provided I can say that your nose is still swollen. You need to wait at least 6 months after the surgery for better result. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!
