6 months after Rhinoplasty and nose still upturned. Will my nose drop?

Question

I look like a pig, will my nose drop it will it stay upturned forever? It has been 6 months.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

I would need to see a full set of photos as described on my website. If someone has a pig nose at six months it is unlikely that it would look better at one year. You will need a revision rhinoplasty done by a very experienced revision rhinoplasty specialist.

Hello,

After 6 months this probably won't change anymore. If you have some photos it might be easier to give you more specific advice. An upturned nose can be attractive in women unless the middle bit = columella sits low in which case you can get this "pig"-like appearance. Over-correction obviously can also cause this appearance. This can probably be corrected under a local anaesthetic.
