I had rhinoplasty surgery one month ago, and I just don't like the way my nose looks. It looks worse, not better. What should I do about my rhinoplasty results?
Answer: Waiting for results in rhinoplasty In another post I discuss the three phases of healing after a rhinoplasty. In short, the first phase is 2-3 weeks, then 2-3 months, and finally up to one year. You are just getting through the second phase. Your nose is still very swollen. You need to remain patient (not easy to do) and allow more time to see the real results. It can take up to a year for all the swelling to go down. Don't be quick to judge the results. And definitely do NOT rush into a revision. Give it a full year. If you're not happy at that point you can safely proceed with a revision to address your concerns. Until then, be patient and allow the healing process to complete. I hope this info helps!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Rhinoplasty healing time Thank you for your question. One month is too early to see the final outcome of your surgery. You won't be able to see the true results of your rhinoplasty until your nose completely heals which may take up to a year or even longer. Your nose might seem too big, too small, too upturned, or look no different than before. Just give it some time to heal. If you are still unhappy with your results after 12 months, then you can consider revision surgery. Good luck with your recovery process.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Results After One Month
Hopefully your rhinoplasty surgeon reviewed the recovery process with you prior to having undergone the surgery and you are just seeking some reassurance. Rhinoplasty healing can be frustrating for some patients as the nose goes through various phases of healing. In most cases, it takes about 10-12 months for the nose to evolve into its final shape. Judging your rhinoplasty results at the one month mark is simply premature. Give it more time to morph and heal. Intervening this early in the rhinoplasty healing process is just not prudent.

Answer: What to do if I'm unhappy with my nose? Be patient you are still very swollen. Talk with your physician and let him/her know that you are unhappy. Try to explain the things that are bothering you and see if the explanations given seem logical to you. You should not have surgery for at least 6 months to see where your results will finally land. If after the facts your physician is not very cooperative seek a second opinion. Good Luck

Answer: Rhinoplasty recovery, 1 month It is still too early to tell what your final results will be. Some portions of the nose will take longer to heal then others, and the type of techniques used to improve your nose will vary in how long they take to heal. I would suggest that you return to your surgeon for further advise as he/she would know what was done to the nose. The link below will take you to a rhinoplasty recvoery video journey that will show you one patient throughout her recovery process.
