Hi. I had my rhynoplasty done 3 days ago. I still have cast on but I see the tip of the nose is way too high. Im just nervous it will stay like this. Do you think it will change after I take the cast off or after some time? Thanks

Answer: Tip too high after rhinoplasty
It is typical when swelling (or the cast!) is present that the tip of the nose looks too high. These likely drop over time.
Hopefully your surgeon was conservative with raising the tiip of the nose.
It is not a bad idea if you are having anxiety to discuss these concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Nasal Tip too high after rhinoplasty
A nose is usually placed under some sort of dressing after the rhinoplasty is complete. The type of dressing varies by surgeon, but most will gently lift the tip slightly during this process. This allows for the nose to settle over time into the proper position. At three days, it would be almost expected to see the nose in a higher position than the long term result. Be patient.
