It is too early to make any determination about your nose because the swelling will take 1 year to go down.

Signifcant post rhinoplatsy drainage is rare in my practice. A lot of this depends on what was done inside the nose. Crusting and scabs are far more common. Congestion is going to be an issue in all nasal surgeries because of the internal swlling. this could account for your voice change but, will clear with time. I believe you need to return to your surgeon for evaluaton for infection. If by a witch look when smiling is what you mean,this may be due to lack of tip support. This a common problem in the African American nose. However no surgical correction should be entertained until healing is complete.

It is way too early to see the final results of your rhinoplasty. There is a alot of swelling in the early post-op period.

Erel Laufer, MD · Answer

Even though it is only 3 weeks post rhinoplasty and in spite of the swelling I can see your concern.

	The tip is somewhat pinched and have the "parenthesis sign".With time your symptoms will improve but the general anatomy of  the nose will remain the same.

Malik Kutty, MD · Answer

Your picture still shows a lot of swelling.  The swelling can affect not only the appearance of your nasal tip, but how that whole area of your face looks when you smile.
