Can you advise on shapeless nose tip 11 months post rhinoplasty? (Photos)

Question

I had rhinoplasty about 11 months ago. I think there was a deformity in my nose tip from the very beginning of the process. Although I searched on the Internet, I did not encounter a similar problem. I have a triangular cartilage on the tip of my nose that can be seen in the light. It is evident when you touch the tip of the nose. Is this a sign of a failed rhinoplasty surgery? Should I tell my doctor about this situation? I think my nose tip will get worse as the days go by

Hi, you should share this problem with your doctor. Maybe with the massage, the feeling you feel with your hands can go away. If it gets worse in the future, it can be interfered with a small operation. In general, your nose looks good. Don't mind if the image doesn't impress you too much.

The final result of a rhinoplasty in men can take 12-18 months for all the edema and scar tissue to settle. There are also several things that can be done to help speed up this process and fine tune the results such as steroid injections, etc. It is difficult to diagnose a problem based on pictures and when you are in the healing phase. If your surgeon is a reputable rhinoplasty surgeon, I would definitely visit them and have them see what is going on. They are the only ones who have seen the inside of your nose and could best know if you are still healing or close to your final result. Hope this helps.
