Had Rhinoplasty yesterday. Tip looks very pinched and turned up. Is that normal?

It is very common for the nose to look pinched and upturned during the acute healing phase after a rhinoplasty. The swelling in the nose commonly makes the nose looked upturned, and the splint can make the nose look pinched. It is going to take at least a few weeks for you to get a good idea on the ultimate results of your rhinoplasty. Patience is key during the healing process so I would not jump to any conclusions.Good luck on your recovery.

Hello, Thank you for your question. It's far too early to judge it's appearance, as it is difficult to determine as swelling may last several months. I'd recommend speaking with your with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your concerns at your next follow-up appointment. Take care.

Although without photos, it is difficulty for me to perfectly assess what you are describing, the things that you have described are usual postoperative effects.  Due to swelling, the nasal tip may often be "upturned" and slowly drop over the next several weeks.  The external splint is there to help reduce swelling caused by the rhinoplasty and may often create a "pinched" appearance if tipwork was performed.  Do not touch the splint unless instructed by your surgeon for the first week, as you do not want to alter the results.  Lastly, a small amount of oozing from a blepharoplasty incision may be normal; if it persists, contact your surgeon.
