Do I need a revision because nearly 3 after rhinoplasty my tip still points down?

January 19, 2020
Asked By:Catsadles in Waverley, MA

I had a rhinoplasty almost 3 years ago. I loved my nose when the cast first came off. However I experienced a lot of swelling after that. I think it's finished swelling but now I see the top still points down long, which is why I had a rhinoplasty to stop that. Do I need a revision? Is it likely to improve after this long?
