Drooping Nose Tip After Rhinoplasty?

Yes your are correct. Droopy tips generally do not rise up. However, when there is significant supratip edema, this can create the illusion of a droopy tip. As the swelling or scarring resolves, it may appear that the tip rotates upwards.

Two months is too early to evaluate the final tip size and shape, especially with open technique which usually results in more swelling than closed rhinoplasty.  Speak with your surgeon about the emerging "droopy tip."  Sometimes, if the problem persists, an injectable can easily improve the situation.

Hi W_DC,

Hopefully you did have your first and last rhinoplasty 2 months ago.  Your nose will change over years.  In some cases as the swelling and scar tissue resolve, the tip can be retracted a bit, lifting the tip.  If you are unhappy with your nasal appearance one year post surgery, then you may begin to consider possible revision surgery.  I hope that your nose settles just right.  Good luck and be well.
