How long could it take for my nose to reach its final shape after a rhinoplasty?

January 8, 2013
Asked By:MichaelMcG

I had closed Rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago to improve symmetry of my nose and define a droopy tip. Post-op my nose is more symmetrical but the tip doesn't appear to have any change. Doc said he expected the tip to "go up" more as he removed a bit of bone that was sticking down. However most swelling seems to have gone down now; is it possible the tip will become more refined in time or should I accept it as is? (After major swelling subsided after 1 week the tip shape has stayed the same since)
