had a septo-rhinoplasty in April 2023, 10M postop soon. I've read that by now 70-90% of swelling has resolved. My doctor told me I had medium thick skin around my tip only. Before surgery my main concern was from front, getting rid of the bulbous/tear drop shape where the bridge of my nose became the tip, I wanted distinction between. Im not seeing much of a diff, will bridge get less wide? I can feel bone when I squeeze until I get to bottom of bridge near tip, then feel slight swelling

Answer: Rhinoplasty Your nose will continue to change sometimes up to three years. From your photos it looks like your nasal bones were adequately narrowed

Answer: Rhinoplasty results At 10 months, you can probably consider your results final. It is unlikely they are going to change much by waiting further. Your picture may have been a little over enthusiastic. Rhinoplasty surgery is fairly complex and typically the outcome is going to be based on a combination of each individual persons candidacy for the procedure in combination with the skill and experience of the provider. Different plastic surgeons have different skill levels for rhinoplasty surgery. I recommend patients be very selective when choosing providers for this procedure seeking providers who have extensive experience with rhinoplasty surgery preferably those who specialize exclusively in rhinoplasty surgery with 20 years +of experience. I suggest you follow up with your provider and discuss your concerns with him or her. Alternatively, you can schedule in person second opinion consultations with other providers in your community. Look for providers who have extensive experience with rhinoplasty surgery. For second opinion, consultations, come prepared to bring with you a complete set of proper before and after pictures. You should also bring a copy of your operative report, so any new surgeon can have a clear understanding of what was done during the first procedure. If you don’t have before, and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward, the ones they took. You can also request a copy of your operative report. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
