I had rhinoplasty, and my nose started to "droop down" a little and became a lot larger in size and in shape over the past 3 years. Why is that? Is there a way to have rhinoplasty to stop this from happening?

Answer: Changes in the nasal appearance after rhinoplasty are due to resolution of swelling. Any changes in appearance after liposuction are due to resolution of swelling. There will not be anatomic changes unrelated to swelling within the tissues. It would be interesting to see some photographs.

Answer: Nasal changes Thanks for your post. I would be interested to see your photos for further insight. Depending on the techniques used during your previous rhinoplasty, there may not have been enough tip support. Over the years, the tip can droop as a result. Scar tissue can develop under the skin that can cause the nose, particularly the tip, the enlarge. Rhinoplasty is a challenging enterprise because the nose can continue to change over the years following surgery. I would continue to follow up with your surgeon so he or she is aware of the changes. Good luck!
