Rhinoplasty 1 year post op swelling. Will the upturned nose still go down?

Question

Hi! I had surgery a year ago. I’m happy with the definition of the top of the bridge but it looks weird in the middle towards the tip. The left picture is my nose before and right picture is current. Is my nose still swollen? My new nose looks shorter now. Will the upturned nose still go down? Thank you!

Thank you for providing these side-by-side photos along with your question. By 12 months post-surgery, your swelling should have subsided. You should be able to see your results clearly at this point. If you’re unhappy with the way your nose looks, you do have options. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss revision rhinoplasty if you want to make further modifications.
