Morning swelling after rhinoplasty

Sybell, This is common after rhinoplasty in some patients. We don't know why it happens to some, but it can sometimes may be due to thickness of the skin. What I can tell you with certainty is that it will stop. At the longest, it will take another six months, but it may occur sooner.

Swollen nose

At six months your nose is close to being completely healed. But the swelling may persist for up to a year and sometimes longer. Be patient..you're almost there!

Full healing can take up to a full year or more. Be more patient and try compression massages to nose. Best to you.
