Nose too upturned after rhinoplasty. Is there any chance my nose tip will "go down"? (Photo)

August 1, 2016
Asked By:M.C.A in Little York, NY

Hello,I had my rhinoplasty almost a month ago and my nose tip looks too upturned.My nose tip before was straight,and I liked it very much,I just wanted my bulbous tip to be thinned a little bit,but it looks like too upturned and my smile looks piggy,although I think my surgeon lifted my nose a little bit.My nose tip is numb,hard and swollen,is there any chance it will go down with time and the healing process?How much does a nose tip usually "fall"(in millimetres,if it's known)as the nose heals?
