I won't be able to see the surgeon until next week. I have to ask if shifting after getting rhinoplasty normal? I have an implant and the tip is shifting a bit. It's not out, but I can feel it moving when I am drinking water or just sitting down. Is the shifting the swelling going down. I would like to add that I am 23 days post op with a Medpor implant for the bridge and tip. I have not cause any trauma to it for I was told to stay away from strenuous work for a while.

Good question. As with a lot of things in surgery, surgeons do things slightly differently, and as long as they are getting good, consistent results, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that whatever they are doing is working for them. I personally do not like to tape the nose a week after...
Yes, the upper lip can be lengthened during Rhinoplasty by allowing the nasal tip to be rotated upward to a more aesthetic angle of 105 to 110 degrees. The depressor muscles can also be dissected and weakened during the Rhinoplasty if these muscles appear to be over-active.
I read your concern. Since you had turbinate work during you may just have some crusting in your nose that may need professional cleaning. An in-ofice, diagnostic nasal endoscopy may be helpful in determining why you're having congestion.
I hope this is helpful.
