I'm 3 months post op rhinoplasty. My nose looks different from the day if cast removal. My nose tip was shorter. My nose tip now seems longer at 3/4 view and smiling. Could this be swelling? How much will my nose change from 3 months post op to final result?

Answer: Photos please If you could provide photos to better understand what you are referring to. Typically, longterm, a rhinoplasty can result in less tip prominence due to dissection around the tip weaking tip support structures. Thus it seems unusual for you to notice more tip projection as opposed to less with time.

Answer: What to expect during healing after rhinoplasty surgery As swelling resolves, the tip of the nose will typically deproject (get closer to the face) and counter-rotate slightly. In general at 3-6 months 60-80% of the swelling will have resolved and the remainder will resolve over the course of 1 year. Bring up your concerns with your surgeon and follow up closely with him/her to ensure the best results.
