Swelling after a rhinoplasty can be vary patient to patient and is related to how complex the rhinoplasty surgery was. At 1 week, it is very common to be very swollen, but over the next 2 weeks people are usually only minimally swollen. Most of our patients in Naples, Florida return to school or work within 2 weeks with cover up makeup. If you are significantly swollen at 3 weeks, you need to see your plastic surgeon to be evaluated. It is true that swelling persists for 12 - 15 months after a rhinoplasty, but that is the last 20 % of swelling, where the initial 80% of the swelling should be gone by 1 month.
