1 month post rhinoplasty, tip too upturned and thick columella. Is this swelling and any hope for tip dropping more? (Photo)

Asked By:melmel1122 in New York, NY

I had my rhinoplasty exactly 4 weeks ago and unhappy with the results. My bridge was narrowed and tip work was done, possibly a columella strut graft was used. My tip is still very upturned and very noticeable in my profile. I had a very piggy and upturned nose after cast removal but doctor said it would drop. Now my columella is also very thick and looks like it is attached to my tip and keeping it pushed up. Is this due to swelling or will I need revision? Would this revision be fairly simple?
