Rhinoplasty swelling can last up to a year in some patients especially in the lower third of the nose. If one has a complete rhinoplasty including the upper, middle and lower thirds of the nose, the swelling can take a full year to subside even if the noticeable part to others is gone sooner.
For example, the tip can take up to a year or year and a half to reach its normal supple nature and also for all of the tip definition to occur. Typically, the upper third is back to normal in about two weeks.
Close follow-up with your physician is imperative in case any abnormal swelling occurs it can be treated during the healing process.
