Answer: Post Rhinoplasty This is a good question. Rhinoplasty really is a procedure that takes time to set in. You are well within the normal healing range. I personally over rotate the tip intraoperatively because it invariably falls with time. I would meet with your surgeon to discuss but patience is your best friend at this point.

Answer: Will A Tip Drop After Rhinoplasty? The answer to this question depends on who the surgeon was and which technique they employed. In my practice, the nasal tip generally remains in the same position due to structural grafts and stitches that are placed. Many other surgeons rely on the tip to drop by a few millimeters following the reduction of swelling. Relay your concerns to your surgeon, and he or she can provide you with an appropriate timeline of events to expect certain results.

Answer: Post-operative healing Two weeks after surgery is early in the healing process and there is still residual swelling at that point that will continue to drift down over the next several weeks. Give yourself time and always free free to call or schedule an office visit with your surgeon so he/she can walk you through the initial post-operative stages.

Answer: Rhinoplasty result Early on after a rhinoplasty, the combination of the cartilage position and swelling can be artificially high and may come down with time. It depends a lot on how the surgery is performed. I prefer to have the rhinoplasty look the way it should right off the bat. I like the control aspect of it. I would touch base with your plastic surgeon but I suspect he/she will say that it is very early after your surgery and thing will change with time.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta
