Nose looking droopy at 3/4 angle 6 months after rhinoplasty. Is it swelling or do I need revision? (Photos)

Fantastic945428Jul 27, 2024
I got rhinoplasty done on my nose 6 months ago to remove a hump and get rid of a droopy tip. I think the nose looks good from one side but when I look at the other side at 3/4 the tip is looking kind of droopy. I know that swelling can subside for a long time but I'm worried it's not swelling because I haven't noticed it getting better. I'm just scared this is going to get worse and I'm going to end up with a completely droopy nose. Could it be just swelling in the tip ?
