3 Weeks Post-Op and Nose Tip Was Over Corrected, Now I Have A Piggy Nose, Will This Possibly Change?

Dear Jenn,

It's hard to give you advice without pictures. But, let me just say this...

You are way too early in the healing process to worry. It will take almost an entire year for all the swelling to subside and for you to appreciate your surgeon's work. Please follow his recommendations and wait it out. If by then, you are still not happy, then seek a second opinion. Best wishes, Dr. H

You need to wait, at 3 weeks you are still in the healing phase.  Tips can drop, but it will take time.  Make sure to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
 

Three weeks after a rhinoplasty is too early to tell the final shape of your nose. It will take months for your nose to heal and take shape. In general, the tip of the nose will tend to drop over time after a rhinoplasty and it is not unusual for some patients to complain that the nose looks "piggy" initially only to have the tip drop into place over the next few weeks/months. In addition, you had an open rhinoplasty which will tend to lead to more swelling than the closed approach. The taping is to help with the swelling of your nose. The columella should also improve along with the rest of the nose as the swelling subsides.
