I had Primary Rhinoplasty 10 months ago. I had lateral osteotomies and the tip projection reduced. The tip still looks bulbous and it looks convex at the infratip break rather than concave. It looks like it was a long way to go before it's the defined tip you'd expect. My surgeon says to wait but I feel like he's just trying to get rid of me. What do you think and what would you do if I were your patient? Thank you

Hi goldadam,
Thank you for your question! A Rhinoplasty coupled with an adenoidectomy procedure would not be related to it. I recommend having a Neuroopthalmologist examine you.

Thank you for your question and photos. I’m glad to hear you’re happy with your results. Since you underwent rhinoplasty nearly 1.5 years ago, your glasses should not leave permanent marks on your nose. You can expect these marks to subside once you remove your glasses. I hope this answers you...
The smell in your nose, and the numbness of the tip: on rare occasion I have had patients mention a smell in the nose, but this is usually during the early postoperative period is probably due to thick mucus which does not get completely cleaned out or perhaps to some drainage from the sinuses...
