You always hear about how swelling can make a nose look upturned, but mine is starting to look a bit droopy, especially from the 3/4 angle. So can a tip swell downward? Will this droopy appearance lift with time? Or will it only get worse?! I am 1 month post op.
Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. Yes, swelling following the surgery can make your nose appear droopy and hide your final result. You should begin to see improvement as the swelling subsides. Always work with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Can swelling make the nose look droopy? Rhinoplasty Results This can be typical. You need to have patience with your body as it begins to heal. The skin, bone and cartilage are all traumatized during surgery. Inflammation (swelling) is the normal response and will help your nose to heal and look beautiful in the end. If, one year from now, you are unhappy with your nose, then that is the time to think about a revision procedure. Right now, concentrate on other things you like to do and let your nose and under eyes take the time to heal. I hope this helps.

Answer: 1 month post op rhinoplasty swelling Your nose will undergo significant changes over the course of the next 9 - 12 months. Swelling at the infratip and columella is common at one month postop. Expect swelling exacerbations to last through the summer due to high heat with improvement when the weather cools off. Most importantly, communicate with your surgeon. He or she may recommend taping, compression exercises, steroid injections, or other therapy.

Answer: Swelling aftter septorhinoplasty As you have experienced, changes occur over the course of rhinoplasty healing. At first, the nose looks too "fat" and too "up," especially at the tip. Most of the dropping happens early, but there can still be significant changes over the full year and beyond.
