Upturned and More Bulbous Tip After Rhinoplasty?

May 31, 2009
Asked By:nurseB in Vancouver, BC

I am 4 weeks post op from Rhinoplasty to rid my nose of a bump. Now, my tip is turned up. Will this come down?The doctor denies touching the tip but my nose is shorter (less projected) and turned up so all you see are nostrils. Also, the tip is more bulbous than it was pre-op, is this just swelling?
