Supratip Swelling After Revision Rhinoplasty, Should I Massage? (photo)

October 19, 2011
Asked By:andy jay in London, England

I had revision Rhinoplasty 13 days ago, to address a Supratip deformity (Pollybeak) issue. My surgeon also advised he reduces the bridge more and narrow the nasal bones and remove more tip cartilage to give the tip a slight lift. I am now back to ask a question. As you can see in my pictures, my pollybeak deformity is gone and the nose looks better, however the tip is slightly swollen, im anxious. Is this normal? What are the odds of me developing pollybeak again? Do you advice massaging?

Answer: The swelling above the tip of your nose will improve since you're less than 2 weeks following Rhinoplasty Surgery.
