I had Rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago today, June 8th. It was closed and i had the tip lifted and a slight bump shaved. I obviously still have swelling but i also have a very noticeable indent on the bridge of my nose im very concerned about. I dont see my surgeon for 3 more weeks for follow-up.

Answer: Is it normal after Rhinoplasty to have an indent on the bridge of your nose?
Thanks for your question. Please wait at least 4 months before judging the results of your surgery. I agree that you should use massage. Please communicate with your surgeon if you feel an increase in pain. All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
You columella is a bit more prominent or hanging and this can be adjusted using rhinoplasty techniques. You can read more about this at my web reference link below.Lifting a hanging columella won't help shorten the distance of your upper lip, though. An upper lip lift would be needed to do that....
Recivery time will be markedly short though I Cannot give a exact time. Everybody heals differently. Swelling black and blue and congestion will be less.
