Answer: Rhinoplasty swelling
After 5 months there is little to do to improve swelling other than time. There is not a cream or injection that is likely to help. An injectin of dilute steriod can be attempted, but I would not expect much. Time can have dramatic results though and patients is always a benefit after rhinoplasty. Give yourself a year. Don't inspect the nose all the time. It will drive you crazy. Take a photo of yourself, forget about it and then take another in 3 months. Compare them and you will get a better idea of the changes.

Hello,
With swelling following rhinoplasty, it is important to be patient. The final result of your rhinoplasty may not be evident until 18-24 months following surgery. 70% of the swelling is resolved after the first 3 months, and the remainder of the swelling goes down over time. You may have a steroid injected into the nose to help reduce swelling. There are a few risks associated with steroid injections to the nose, such as indentation and white spots. These risks are rare, but can occur. I also inject 5-flourouracil into the nose to help decrease swelling. Please discuss any options to reduce swelling with your surgeon, as he/she knows the extent of your surgery and exactly what was performed. Thank you, and I hope this helps.

Answer: Swelling at 5 months
it is not unusual to have swelling still at 5 months, especially with thicker skin - see your surgeon and inquire about steroid injections into the tip.

Answer: Best Way to Reduce Swelling of Nose 5 Months After Rhinoplasty
Hi Ashley,
Best to wait until about a year after your rhinoplasty before doing anything about your nose. Discuss your concerns with your rhinoplasty surgeon. Have your nose checked to be sure that there is no infection. Good luck and be well.

Answer: Rhinoplasty results take ! year.
There are no creams or potions to make the swelling go down faster. Be patient and it will take 1 year for the last bit to go down.
