my nose is too straight. I am a little more than six weeks out and have significant supratip swelling still. When swelling subsides will this area show more of a break (my surgeon said he took out a little fat (?) in that area so i would have one, but so far i don't see it. Hoping swelling is hiding it???

Answer: Nasal Tip Swelling and Rhinoplasty Results
Dear JD,
Thank you for your questions. Yes, oily skin is often thicker than dry skin, all else being equal. The mid portion of the nose can be wider when you remove the hump if osteotomies are not performed. Having before and after photos helps.

Thanks for the question. I advise my patients to start drinking alcohol, coffee 5-7 days after their rhinoplasty surgery. Therefore you should consult with your surgeon for a reminder form before surgery. I wish you all the best.
Dear Lilly,
Thank you for your question. Any facial surgery close to the eyes can be irritating to the eyes. Time will heal this. Follow up with your plastic surgeon for assessment.
Best Wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD
