2-3 Years Post Surgery?

Hope me sharing my experience can give reassurance to some people. I had my nose surgery almost 3 years ago.(2yrs and 9 months to be exact) I was kinda ok with my nose even after two weeks from the surgery but was a bit worried about the possible "over-projection" of my tip. It wasn't like my nose was ugly overall but I just found it a bit unnatural with such a high tip when I'm Asian. But still couldn't complain since it was my revision case and my first nose job gave me a trauma... so i was telling myself it's still better than my previous nose even though it wasn't "perfect". But after a few more weeks of deswelling, it became much smaller and natural to my 99% satisfaction!(I'm sorry but I don't believe in 100% in anything. lol) Then another worry came to my mind. "What if both my tip and bridge keep getting lower and lower?". Since the doctor told me the complete healing? de-swelling? will gradually take place over 6 months. Well, to my relief, the tip got a bit smaller and the bridge looked a bit.. umm.. slimmer? but it still remained as 98% perfect nose for my liking. I loved it. I was(and still am) very happy and felt much more confident.(was suffering a lot from the previous botched nose). Then my next concern was "what if it droops?!". I bothered my translator(now I'm confident to call him my friend since we talked for almost 3 years now hehe) a lot and he was honest enough to tell me that every human's nose tip droops as one ages. But he reassured me that my tip was made of my own cartilage so there won't be any complications or a sudden collapse/drooping. He also told me to focus less on my nose for some time for my own happiness. Now it's been almost 3 years. Long story short, I'm still happy, don't regret my decisions and definitely not in need of another revision. Who knows down the road after like 10 years but from what I monitored for 3 years I don't think any major complication or change will take place anytime soon. Sometimes I feel my tip angle got a bit downward but then one day I see the mirror I don't notice any difference.(so maybe it's in my head? nah... I'm sure it became at least teeny tiny more downward). But I think it actually is becoming more natural for my face. Like really becoming my own nose.. hard to explain lol. The reason I'm writing this post is that... I've been there. I've been through a lot of stress and concerns, many nights of fear, many paranoid days, I was even undergoing depression after my first nose surgery. I hope it's less hard for other people who are undergoing plastic surgery by reading my positive post. I wish my successful experience with happy ending helps other people by giving at least a bit of reassurance.

Hey girl I just got mine done by Dr. Kim. On day 6 it was upturned and I was really worried! Then on day 9 when I got the bandaged removed my tip settle down nicely. I'm currently on day 12 and I'm scared if it'll drop more? I actually like the tip right now but it is so early! How many days after your revision rhinoplasty did you notice you tip dropping/settling down?
