Tip + Revision Rhinoplasty. Why does it take so long for the tip to contour after a revision?

Asked By:cuppcake88

It’s been 11 months since my revision rhinoplasty; I have been seeing changes but not drastic ones. I still like my profile view better than the front view. The tip of my nose still looks swollen and hard. I can see some contouring starting to take form on the tip but it’s taking a while for me to be fully happy. I have my close to one year follow up this month, I hope my PS will bring hope, tell me that my nose is still changing. Why does it take so long for the tip to contour after a revision?
