Upturned Nose - 4 Days After Surgery? (photo)

It is not abnormal for the nose to be turned up following rhinoplasty surgery. In general, the tip will relax to its final position within 2 weeks following your procedure. I would recommend communicating any immediate post-operative concerns to your surgeon, as they know the extent of your procedure and exactly what was performed. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

A combination of the tape and the swelling immediately after rhinoplasty will cause the tip of your nose to appear excessively rotated in the early post-operative period.  With time, as the swelling resolves, the tip of your nose should descend.  

You can expect your nose to be pulled upward by the tapes and splint. Once they are removed the tip will start to come back down again. No need for concern at this point.
