My surgeon shaved down my bridge and raised my tip with graft. But the way it's looking I'm thinking he did too much of both. My tip bulges and it almost looks like two different noses put together. Can I get an honest opinion please about the results? Will this even out or is it looking like this is it?
Answer: Was my bridge shaved down too much? Rhinoplasty Results If it's been less than a year, it's still too soon to tell what your final results will be. You need to have patience with your body as it begins to heal. The skin, bone and cartilage are all traumatized during surgery. Inflammation (swelling) is the normal response and will help your nose to heal and look beautiful in the end. If, one year from now, you are unhappy with your nose, then that is the time to think about a revision procedure. Right now, concentrate on other things you like to do and let your nose and under eyes take the time to heal. I hope this helps.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Results You have to give yourself some more healing time. Your nose and surrounding areas are going to be swollen for a while and you should be consulting the surgeon that performed the procedure but give yourself some time before going back in so some of it can subside. It can take up to a year for final results. Sincerely, Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Rhinoplasty The tip cartilages are too big for the dorsal profile. You may benefit from a revision if swelling has dissipated completely at this point.

Answer: Do I have a over-scooped nose? Answering your question, forces me to ask you one...It depends on how long you are post-operative. If the pics you posted is the long-term result (1 year postop), my aesthetic feels that your tip is not congruous with your dorsum. If you are in the healing period, this incongruity may be secondary to swelling.

Answer: Bridge shaved down? It would be helpful to know how long ago was your surgery. Your tip appears to be still swollen Once this settles down your bridge of your nose should not look as shaved down. The swelling in the tip can take several months to resolve. Give it more time and maintain follow-up with your surgeon
