Will my Nose Tip Get Longer After the Swelling Goes Down?

Dear Sophia, Thank you for your question. The cartilage framework controls the 'valves' of the nose.  These may be altered during rhinoplasty to increase or decrease airflow. Follow up with your surgeon if these problems persist. Best wishes, Pablo Prichard, MD
