Nose after rhinoplasty

Steven Wallach, MD answers: Why is my nose the same size two weeks after an open rhinoplasty?

I had open rhinoplasty on 8/29/08.  Today my splint came off.  My nose is straight but still appears to be the same size.  I had a wonderful surgeon - no problem there! Will the size of my nose get smaller once the swelling subsides? Day one of these most important questions. Thanks for all that you and your site does for patients with complicated questions!

Two weeks after Rhinoplasty is actually too early to critically evaluate the results. There is definitely too much swelling, but be a patient patient and give it some time.
