Hello, I am only 2 weeks post-Op. Do you think my nose is still over-projected? i feel it is but i could be crazy. Also will the projection go down at all as the swelling does? Thanks.
Answer: Overprojecting tip after rhinoplasty Many times after rhinoplasty the nasal tip will before overprojected due to placement of columellar struts or tips grafts. The tip often feels rigid. It softens over time and deprojects so I would surely wait at least 9 months before making any judgments.

Answer: Too early to judge nose projection You are only 2 weeks out from surgery. It is way to early to determine if your nose is over projected. The final results are not definite until a year after surgery. Just focus on recovering now and allow time to take care of things.

Answer: Overprojection is normal at this time. It depends on how the nose was done as to how much projection is due to swelling. It usually will go down. Wait at least 6 months before doing anything.

Answer: Nasal tip angle and projection go down during healing There are a number of maneuvers we perform to reduce tip projection and change the angle of the tip of the nose. For projection, some of these surgical maneuvers occur as the nose heals over the year following surgery. Two weeks after surgery, the tip may appear over-projected. Another reason for this is the splint is worn on the upper 2/3 of the nose, the tip isn't taped or splinted. This pushes swelling into the tip that can make it appear a lot more bulbous and stick out further than it will when it is fully healed.

Answer: Swelling from rhinoplasty From your photos, it is difficult to assess your current situation - they are taken from different angles and at too far a distance. That being said, at 2 weeks post-operatively, it is not the time to assess your postoperative outcome. Swelling can take a lot of time to resolve from either an open or closed rhinoplasty.
