I had Rhinoplasty several days ago. When I saw my nose at the mirror recently, I noticed, that the tip of my nose is lifted high, which does not look natural. The doctor told me that it's going to return into a more natural form after a while. Will it really change and go down? If so, when can I expect it to happen?

Answer: May Appear Higher At First The nasal tip may be higher at first right after a rhinoplasty. As you continue to heal and your swelling subsides, it may slightly become lower. And usually the nose gains a more natural look after healing and losing the swelling.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Your nasal tip may derotate several millimeters over the ensuing weeks following rhinoplasty surgery. Several days postoperative rhinoplasty is too soon to judge the angle between your nose and upper lip. Gravity may lead to several millimeters of derotation as you proceed through the healing process. If you're still concerned 1-3 months postoperative, consider re-asking your query with before and after photos.Hope this helps.Dr Joseph

Answer: Upturned nasal tip several days following rhinoplasty. The upturned tip can be due to several factors. It is too early to draw conclusions due to the degree of surgical edema. By 3 months you can draw some general conclusions about the ultimate results of the surgery and if you are not happy with the results at that time it is likely that a revision will be necessary but it is best to wait at least 12 months to proceed with revision.Mario J.
