Hello~

💎your beauty universe! This is Dr. Shim Jung Hwan from Uber Plastic Surgery :)💎

Regarding how long the nasal tip continues to drop after rhinoplasty,

many of you have been curious about this.

​

Today, let's find out how long the nasal tip drops after rhinoplasty.

After rhinoplasty, how long does the nasal tip continue to drop?

​

After nose surgery, the degree to which the nasal tip drops varies slightly from person to person, but

in the case of our clinic, if you observe the swelling subside up to about the 2nd week,

it doesn't seem to drop much after that.

​

For patients whose nasal tip noticeably drops when they smile,

if it is forcibly extended too much, there can be cases where it drops

relatively more.

Even in such cases, it usually drops up to the 1st or 2nd month,

and it rarely seems to drop significantly after that period.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the tip of the nose drop after rhinoplasty?

The tip of the nose usually settles as swelling subsides until about 2 weeks after surgery, and it does not drop significantly after that. Although there are individual differences, in general, the height of the nasal tip can be considered stable after 2 weeks.

Is the surgical outcome different for people whose nasal tip drops when they smile?

Yes, the nasal tip may drop relatively more. If the nose of a patient whose nasal tip drops significantly when they smile is excessively extended, there is a higher possibility of increased nasal tip drooping after surgery.

Can nasal tip drooping continue to occur even after 1-2 months?

No, it is rare for the nasal tip to drop significantly after 1-2 months. Even in patients with a tendency for significant nasal tip drooping, the drooping usually occurs only until 1-2 months after surgery, with little change thereafter.

When does the swelling subside after rhinoplasty?

Major swelling usually subsides around the 2-week mark. By this time, as the swelling decreases, the position of the nasal tip also settles to some extent, which becomes a benchmark for predicting future nasal tip drooping.
