Question

I am 6 weeks post op and my nose tip looks droopy, pointing down, poly beak and just out of shape. It looked OK from 2 weeks post op but has gradually got worse , can you advice

Mark Been, MD · Answer

Thanks for your post. If I am understanding your photos correctly, the left sided photos from two weeks post-op are on the left, and your 6 week post-op photos are on the right, correct? I would also be interested to see your pre-op photos. Based on your posted pictures, I agree that your nasal tip is drooping. Healing following rhinoplasty can take months, so it may be premature to draw conclusions at this time. If the problem persists you may need a secondary procedure to re-position the nasal tip. Be sure to follow-up regularly with your surgeon to discuss your concerns.
