After rhinoplasty how long should the swelling last?

I had a Rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago and my nose is still very swollen. Is this normal?

Post-Rhinoplasty nasal swelling lasts up to 1-12 months in some form. However, while you SHOULD STILL have nasal swelling 3 weeks after your surgery it should not be extreme. You may want to check with your surgeon.
