I’m 2 weeks post op a closed rhino/septoplasty. I know it’s VERY early to make any any assumptions, however the tip is a little over rotated when looking straight on. My nostrils never showed before the procedure, and I have a long face as I’m 5’9. How many mms should I expect it to drop?

Answer: Nose tip Thank you for asking one of the most top questions after a nose job. Yes, most often than not the tip does drop a little after the cast has been taken off. The nose will reshape up to a year after surgery, so, many times the nose that you see right after the cast is taken off may not be the same exact nose that you may eventually end up with. There may be small and subtle changes as the nose heals. Usually, the nasal tip tends to look higher due to how the nose was taped. Keep in mind that you are not looking for the perfect nose, but, the nose that best perfectly fits your face.

Answer: Tip Rotation The nasal tip has a tendency to look high immediately after surgery for several weeks. This is partly due to how the nose is taped sometimes after surgery. Every patient is different, and a lot of it depends on what was done during surgery, but on average, you may see a 1-2 mm drop in the tip over time.
