Tip of nose pointing up 6 months after my septoplasty - is this normal?

After a septoplasty, it's normal for the tip of the nose to be swollen, and this swelling can persist for several months after the procedure. It's also possible for the nose to appear slightly upturned or pointed in the early stages of healing, due to swelling or changes in the shape of the internal structures of the nose.

However, if you have concerns about the appearance of your nose or are experiencing any pain or discomfort, it's important to schedule a follow-up consultation with your surgeon. They can evaluate your individual situation and determine whether any additional treatment or monitoring is necessary.

It's important to follow all of your surgeon's post-operative instructions and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure the best possible outcome from your septoplasty. With proper care and monitoring, most patients can expect to see significant improvement in the appearance and function of their nose within several months after the procedure.


Best of luck !
