I had rhinoplasty 6 weeks ago to have a hump removed and to narrow it just a bit. Yet my nose looks extremely lifted giving off a pig look. I am extremely depressed to the point that I am avoiding friends and family. Will my nose come down or do I need revision?! Is there anything I can do to speed the process?

Answer: Rotation after rhinoplasty I am sorry to read that you are so unhappy after surgery. The tip is rotated and blunted, which makes you feel piggy. You are swollen, and this contributes to a lack of defined tip architecture. Hopefully, as the swelling leaves, the tip will fall and have more definition. Regarding rotation, your tip position is based on the underlying cartilage structure. Only your surgeon knows the exact maneuvers performed... and if permanent support or temporary support is holding your tip. Most things fall with gravity and time, but it really depends on what was done. Happy to evaluate the operative report if you can access it. Good luck! Hopefully your nose will settle to a place that brings you relief... and ideally joy.

Answer: Rhinoplasty result It is extremely common for the nasal swelling to elevate the tip, causing this type of appearance. It will take months for this to recede and for the nose to drop. Have patience!
