Supratip fullness 10 months PO (soft)

thank you for posting your question. It is not uncommon after any rhinoplasty, revision or primary, to experience swelling, and fullness of the nasal tip. The supratip break, that was created during surgery, can efface until swelling has subsided and healing is completed. In some cases it can take longer than the usual rule of thumb of 12 months. The fact that the fullness subsides to your pressure is promising. Your healing process from your revision rhinoplasty is not completed yet. If there would be no changes or differences of the nasal supratip break notable, the fullness would be more likely to be permanent. Revision rhinoplasties can be quiet complex, and require some time to heal. I hope this helped.

When there is persistent soft swelling in the super tip area, this is the most favorable place for a steroid injection to reduce swelling, and to improve somebody's nasal appearance, even at 10 months postoperatively, I hope this is helpful. And thanks for this question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

You might ask your surgeon for a reroof injection. Also taping the nose at night should help. This is very common

Some patients have prolonged swelling of the nose longer than a year after rhinoplasty; this in particular typical for tip/supratip area. This may result in supratip fullness that affects tip projection. Corticosteroid injections are helpful but need to be limited to avoid side effects. Over-night taping with a paper tape may be good approach to control and resolve this problem. Good luck.
