Mild Tip Drooping After Rhinoplasty

March 18, 2009
Asked By:lynwoodca1 in los angeles,ca

I had my cast taken off yesterday, and I noticed that my tip is greatly reduced but still droops a little. Is that normal because of swelling? Will my tip get more straighter and narrow as the swelling goes away? Thank you.
