When my internal splints were in, my left one slipped down or repositioned itself and I feel like that is what caused so much crookedness in my nose. I realize there is swelling but a lot of it has subsided. It seems to MOSTLY just be in the tip of my nose. Did I have a botched rhinoplasty?! My nose was NOT this crooked before surgery

Answer: Twenty Days post Rhinoplasty Concerns Dear riahr1218, I certainly see your concerns and I have some for you as well. Unfortunately it is simply to early to determine what your final results will be. It is common that the tip swelling is the last swelling to dissipate and this can take a few months for the majority of it to resolve and an entire year for all of the swelling. Make sure that you voice your concerns to your surgeon as he/she knows best what techniques were performed, what your proposed results were and where you are in the recovery phase. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
