Nose 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.

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.
