Upper lip still different after almost 6 months

November 24, 2023
Asked By:Vin3456 in New York, New York, Stati Uniti

It's been almost 6 months since I had rhinoplasty and my upper lip still looks different than it did six months ago. I know that a change in the tip of the nose can give the illusion that the lip has changed but this is not the case. The upper lip covers most of the upper teeth, much more than before. Unfortunately, after having had a check-up after three months, my surgeon is unlikely to be available for another check up. Is it possible that the swelling of the lip is still not resolved?
