Had surgery 5 days ago. I didn't want upturn at all. Never had splint after surgery. How much the tip will drop? Will the columella still show excessively hanging and fat after the swollen goes away? How complicated is it to have a revision to fix the columella?

Answer: Up turned nose after rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. This is a common concern immediately after rhinoplasty. The tape and swelling hold the nose up (rotated) much more than it will end up as. While I can't tell you how much it is going to swing back down, because I can't tell how much the tape is holding the nose up, I can tell you that your photos do not look out of the ordinary at all. Your columella will also narrow as the swelling goes down. Don't worry about revision at this point. Try to rest, relax and heal from your primary surgery. Its way, way to early to make any assessment about the results. All the best!

Answer: Much too early to make a decision about the results of a rhinoplasty. It's much too early to make any pronouncement about the rhinoplasty. You have a sizable amount of swelling that goes along with procedure and there will be fundamental changes over the course of convalescence that will take many weeks if not months.
