Over 10 months post op - will my bulbous nose correct itself with more time? (photos)

The reason I say this is because swelling tends to dissipate from the upper 1/3 of the nose before the lower 1/3 of the nose. In that regard, I feel that what you are looking at at the top of your bridge is likely permanent. An examination would be necessary to confirm this. If that small bump feels hard like bone and cartilage, it's not likely going to disappear. If this is causing you significant to satisfaction, please consider meeting with another reputable rhinoplasty specialist for a second opinion. Sometimes that can be very helpful. I wish you well moving forward, and thanks for this question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hi from Istanbul! For noses with thicker skin, the refinement of the nasal tip can continue for up to 1.5 to 2 years post-op. Thus, at 10 months, it's still premature to judge the final outcome. That being said, it appears that you may benefit from an additional refinement and narrowing of the nasal cartilages might lead to a slimmer tip. If, after the first year, you are still not satisfied with the results, you may consider a revision surgery. Best of luck to you on your journey!

At ten months, your results are usually final. If you do not like the tip then you will need a revision. About 15% of rhinoplasty's need a revision so this is not an unusual occurrence.

Best Wishes,
