I do understand that my nose is still very swollen and that the swelling takes months to years to go away, however i wanted to ask realistically how much of my upturned tip will drop as I feel low about myself right now

Answer: Over rotated tip I agree with your assessment. However, as you say yourself, it takes a long time for swelling to resolve and healing to complete with any rhinoplasty. Often the tip is taped up during the first week while the nose is splinted. In most cases this is a temporary phenomenon and the tip will drop gradually with time. By 6 weeks following the surgery you should have a better idea of where your rhinoplasty result is heading but even at that time the healing process will only be 60-80% complete. Try to be patient and if you are very concerned, discuss it with your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Nasal tip swelling and rotation post rhinoplasty Thanks for sending your photos and question. The nasal tip is often swollen and over rotated due to swelling of the tip and the upper lip early post rhinoplasty surgery. The nasal tip will change significantly for months. In general the tip will drop slightly over the first few months post rhinoplasty surgery. .
