Questioner: 7 weeks post surgery, nose still looks worse/the same. Should I consider revision?
I have read from many doctors on real self by 6-8 weeks 80% of swelling after rhinoplasty should have gone. I'm 7 weeks post op and nose looks slightly worse than before op. I had the procedure as my nose was wide and pointed before. When I smiled my nostrils flared out and upwards, the tip pointed dropped down pointed into my teeth, as well as the whole thing looking wider. Nothing has changed post op. Should I consider revision?
(Questioner submitted photos)

Dr. Denenberg's answer: Your nose still looks long to me
These photos don't show your entire face, and there are no *true* profiles, but it seems that one of the main changes you nose required was to shorten it, raising the tip upwards.

Unfortunately, the tip doesn't tend to elevate with time. I would much rather that my patients are nervous because the tip is too high at seven weeks, than they be nervous because the tip is too low.

To get a substantial elevation of the tip, you will probably need a revision rhinoplasty. Elevating the tip, even during a revision, is quite predictable, if the doctor is expert at making those changes during a revision, so you must see a doctor's before and after photos before you have the operation. See the attached video and Web reference link for examples of what can be done in the right hands.
