Severely upturned nose 2+ months after surgery. Is the top likely to drop? (Photo)

May 14, 2018
Asked By:torrie66 in New York, NY

I had tipwork and septoplasty done a little over 2 months ago. I was told my tip would drop with time but seeing how much higher/upturned it is in my post opt profile I am having doubts. My nostrils seemed stretched out as well. I did not ask for an upturned tip and expected my results to be far more subtle. How likely is it for my tip to fall back to its original pre-op position, and has my tip been over-rotated? Please help thank you.
