I am 3 months post op from open rhinoplasty where i had nasal tip refined and dorsal hump removed. Looking at my profile there is a sharp point at the tip. Also my nostrils are retracted and columella appears low. Will the point and other two issues resolve over time or not? I had a steroid shot a month ago for the swelling.

Answer: Never steroid injections in rhinoplasties, can be absolutely destructive... and solve nothing except in very exceptional cases and highly dilluted.You have a supratip deformity (also called polly beak deformity, but I don't like this offensive term) caused by insufficient shaving of the cartilaginous dorsum and septum, and probably because you needed a tip graft because your ethnic roots.You need revision surgery applying the both previously mentioned gestures.

Answer: Healing after Rhinoplasty Generally speaking, it can take 6 to 12 months to completely heal after surgery. Please keep in touch with your surgeon or his/her clinical team to discuss your ongoing concerns.
