Nose Hi I had closed rhinoplasty done to remove somewhat of a hooked nose. I had my cast removed 2 days ago and doesn't seem like anything has chnaged, looks the same to me. The hook is just slightly smaller but swollen but my side profile still shows a pronounced hook. I am a bit scared because as many have spent a lot of $. I am not using any tape or anything, should I be concerned? Thanks

Answer: Hooked nose
If you still see a farily substantial "hooked" appearnce, it will likely be there in a few months. Either way, you have to give it time to heal.

Answer: Hooked nose after rhinoplasty
Early after surgery you are going to have swelling that will take time to resolve. Having said that, however, you should notice significant improvement in the overall shape and configuration of your nose postoperatively. It is essential that you talk to your surgeon about your concerns. Not knowing what you had done, I cannot comment on the specifics of your surgery, however you should be seeing improvement as the sweling continues to improve. Again, it is essential to have a good relationship and the ability to communicate freely with your surgeon regarding your concerns. if there are complications or problems with your rhinoplasty you want to find out what the plan is to correct them and what the time frame is for doing so.
