Nose Tip After Rhinoplasty
Tip high after rhinoplasty
This is normal and after the cast is off and the tip heals (6-12 months) it should be fine. Be patient and don’t worry. (Toby Mayer, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Tip 3 Days after Rhinoplasty
3 days after surgery is way to early to tell the results. The tip is always elevated after a rhinoplasty from the sweling. Swelling is usually at its worst 2 days after the surgery.
You have to be patient with the nose and understand that it takes time for the tip to settlle during the recovery process.
If you are concerned please speak to your surgeon about this for further guidance and assurance. (Jacob D. Steiger, MD, Boca Raton Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty 3 days postop
At three days post – op you are experiencing maximal swelling which may be distorting the nasal tip height. You have to wait at least 6 months to determine if the nasal tip height is adequate.
Unless the tip is grossly overprojected after the cast comes off. (Oleh Slupchynskyj, MD, FACS, New York Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Cannot Judge Angle of Nasal Tip 3 Days After Rhinoplasty

Nose Tip Too High after Rhinoplasty
Christina Before and after photographs of your nose would be helpful for more specific advice. That being said, 3 days after rhinoplasty is way too early to judge.
Most patients who think their nose is too high right after surgery, just love it once the cast and splints are removed and everything settles in time. (Daniel Reichner, MD, Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon)
Cast and Tapes Post Rhinoplasty Elevate the Tip
Nose Tip After Rhinoplasty surgery
Absolutely. The cast and nasal tapes are applied so as to elevate your tip during the early post operative period.
They provide early support to your nose to ensure a good result. Once they are removed you will see an imediate descent of your tip to the position your surgeon intended. (Thomas Buonassisi, MD, Vancouver Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty Results
Three days post-operative is entirely took soon to judge any type of outcome. I always encourage patients to discuss any post-operative concerns with their surgeon. (Michael Sullivan, MD, Columbus Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Nasal tip looks too high
Nose Tip After Rhinoplasty too high
It is not unusual for the nasal tip to appear “too high” in the early days following rhinoplasty. It will certainly change in the weeks and months to come; the tip is usually the last structure to “remodel” after the operation, and may take 6-12 months to achieve its final shape. Rhinoplasty techniques can weaken nasal projection unless efforts are made to address this; so the fact that your tip appears to high to you is not necessarily a bad thing ( especially since much or the splint and dressing is intended to support the tip). Just be patient, and discuss your concerns with your surgeon. (Jerry Lugger, MD, Southlake Plastic Surgeon)
Appearance of nose at 3 days – with the splint on
You can’t judge your nose at 3 days, never mind that the splint is still on. Often, the nose is taped to bring the tip up slightly which will then subsequently drop down slightly with time. Ig may take 6 months or more to have a better idea of the long term appearance. (Steven Turkeltaub, MD, Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon)
