Will tip of the nose come down some after bandages removed after Rhinoplasty?

October 7, 2014
Asked By:chicka028 in Chattanooga, TN

I just had rhinoplasty done that involved getting the tip of my nose raised. I'm European and our noses generally dont have raised tip. Dr recommended lifting it some since throughout yrs he said it will "drop more." I did tell him I don't want it to like like a pig's nose either. I just got back from,surgery and was changing out bandage & almost started crying at what I saw. my husb. said its probably the way he has it taped up & it's lifting my nose upward (sweet of him) do you think that a possibility?
