After Rhinoplasty, How Much of an Upturned Nasal Tip is Due to the Swelling?

Christopherlanc
I've heard from other patients that postoperatively after rhinoplasty the nasal tip is a bit upturned, mostly due to swelling. As the swelling subsides, what factors contribute to the degree that the tip eventually moves down to the desired shape? And will it certainly move down to the desired shape as discussed preoperatively?
