Will my tip still drop 3 and a half months after rhinoplasty?

Dear alli_104,

Thank you for your clinical
post. Rhinoplasty surgery can be either
open or closed. When work is performed
on the nasal tip as well as the bridge there is definitely a significant amount
of tip swelling. For an open approach
there may have been tip support grafts performed and there will be a lot of swelling,
exaggerating the projection of the tip.
An open approach is often between 9 and 12 months before the tip has
adopted its more normalized position, the tissue is soft and sensation has
returned. For a closed approach between
6 and 9 months is often needed before a tip will reach it’s final position.

I hope this information is of some
assistance and best of luck.
