Tip Raised Too High, when Will It Drop After Rhinoplasty?

June 4, 2010
Asked By:7132anon in Manhattan

I had an OPEN rhinoplasty about 2 wks ago. My doctor removed a hump, narrowed the bridge, and raised tip. Now I fear my tip is too high. The cast and taping have all been removed from my nose and I still feel like my tip is too high. Will the tip drop as the swelling goes away? Can this be fixed?
