Is my tip too upturned after surgery?

March 20, 2024
Asked By:mushmaow in Kennesaw, Georgia

I had a closed rhinoplasty done in South Korea on March 6th and I had excessive swelling post op. My skin is very sensitive and always has been. I expected the tip to be more up-turned and that it will relax with time I just want second opinion that this is not too much and it is just due to excessive swelling. My alar folds and septum are still swollen as is the bridge of my nose. My tip is also still quite tender. Aside from waiting on the swelling is this too upturned ?
