This is my second rhinoplasty and I just wanted to correct some things. Make the tip more "refined" but I specifically said I did NOT want a pig looking nose. And my nose is REALLY upturned! Did he go too far? He said he gave me a natural result which I don't agree with at all. What are you options to correct this? I am really self conscious about this.
Answer: Rhinoplasty tip Thank you for your question! Your pictures show a very early postoperative result. It will take several months for the swelling to subside and the final result to be seen. Please be patient and withhold judgement for now. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. He/she may be able to reassure you and give you the emotional support that you need during this time. Best of luck! Report back and let us know how things look in several months!

Answer: Upturned nose Your enthusiasm to have this secondary surgery is noted, and your anticipation of achieving a final improved look is shared by all of us in this forum. The doctor perhaps used special measures to provide a more defined tip look and hold it there. At first it can appear high and projecting, but may come down considerably over weeks to months. Stay with your doctor and be patient. Noses take the longest of any surgery to come to their final resting place particularly after a revision. The key principle in rhinoplasty is creating what is sought and holding it there in position. The nose reconstructed with support beams,struts,and sutures used to accomplish a revision often retain more swelling then for the nose just simply reduced or similarly treated in a first intervention.
