Hi,
Everyone's healing after rhinoplasty is different depending the patient, the surgeon, the extent of surgery, and about 100 other variable factors.

Healing 7 Months after Rhinoplasty
We typically tell patients that it takes a year to heal after rhinopasty surgery. However, this can vary tremendously depending on skin thickness and what was done during your operation. Talk to your surgeon who did the surgery and can more accurately answer your question after examining your nose.

Healing time for rhinoplasty
Healing time for rhinoplasty patients varries greatly. Most surgeons want to wait one year before considering any further surgery. The tip is probably the slowest to reach conclusion. The changes are minimal but real. In fact, the nose may continue to change over the years. this why conservative surgery is best.

Rhinoplasty Healing May Take More Than One Year
Healing post Rhinoplasty may take a year or more but certainly within 7 months post-op you should be almost there. Appearance from this point forward depending on the thickness of your skin will change only slightly. We tell our patients that when the numbness of the nasal tip resolves.... they are then fairly close to seeing what their nose will ultimately look like.

How Far Through Healing Am I at 7 Months Post Op Rhinoplasty
About 60% of the way there. You'll truly see your final result at 12 months. Usually, around 6 months, is when your nose starts to feel natural again and not as stiff and firm as it did for the first few months. The most challenging aspect for patient's .... is patience. Continue to hang in there for another 5 months. If at that time there are issues or concerns...they can be addressed at that time with your primary surgeon. Good luck!
