I had rhinoplasty 7 months ago now however, I still have a major issue with my tip. It's still very bulbous. What are my options and can it be refined?

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi there,At 7 months it is too early to be considering a revision rhinoplasty. The swelling can take over a year or even longer.It also depends on what your nose shape was like before your surgery. You appear to have quite thick skin so a very refined tip may not be possible.At this stage though you need to be patient. Everything about your nose looks reasonable in the photo, so I would just wait at this point.RegardsRichard

Answer: Thick skin, management of post operative swelling Seven months after a rhinoplasty is too early to consider a revision. Especially since you have thicker skin anyway. I would recommend that at this time you ask your surgeon about measures that can be taken to reduce swelling. This might include taping of the nose, massage and steroid injections. Ask your surgeon about his recommendations, allow another 6 months before becoming discouraged and considering surgical intervention.
