Does the Nose Become Smaller As Scar Tissue Matures?
gelee30Mar 3, 2011
I had an open Septorhinoplasty 19 weeks ago to straighten and narrow my nose, and to define my tip. So far, I'm not too satisfied with my result. I was hoping for more defintion and contour in my nose (sidewall/tip region), and for the tip to be smaller. I've read it takes up to a year to see the final result. My doctor doesn't believe in steroid injections, so will my nose eventually shrink, soften, and define with time? I'm confused about scar tissue and the healing process.
