How much does nose tip drop after closed rhinoplasty? Will pressure massages downward help it drop? I'm 1 month post op.

Asked By:Cici100 in Los Angeles, CA

My PS informed me that my tip was refined & lifted to match my bridge. I did not request this and I hate it. I liked the position that my tip was pre-op. Now it looks too high, short, and fat. If I pressure massage my tip downward, will it potentially droop? I want it to droop! It made me look ethnic. He used sutures to lift it (thats what he told me at my post-op app). I know I'm too early to see final results and have a lot of swelling but I do not want it lifted at all. Thanks for the advise!
