It's been 1 month after my open nose surgery and the tip of my nose is still upturned. Will the tip drop? (photo)

Asked By:AlmaM1 in Encino, CA

I had an open rhinoplasty and septoplasty done exactly one month ago. I was told I also needed a columella strut to give me a more feminine touch. I just wanted the hump removed and made it clear that I feared getting the dreaded pig nose, but went along with the strut. When my cast was removed I saw my tip was so upturned that I looked like a pig! I've read that it might do that so I wasn't too alarmed, but I am worried that it is too upturned and wont fall to a more natural look. Please help.
