Swollen Tip Normal At A Month After Rhinoplasty

Dear Sarah, At 4 weeks after your surgery, it is very normal that you have swelling reflected as a bulbous and wide nasal tip. I advise you to have a little more patience as normally it takes up to a year for final results to be established. Mother nature has to take its course at the end of the day. Nonetheless, it is good to keep your surgeon in the loop of your progress. Best of luck to you and thank you for your inquiry. Dr.... more

Swollen nasal tip 4 weeks after rhinoplasty

4 Weeks is still very soon after your surgery, and the majority of your swelling is still present.

Tip swelling following rhinoplasty.

Wide Bulbous Tip 4 Weeks after Rhinoplasty

Tip swelling 1 month after rhinoplasty

4 weeks after rhinoplasty is definitely too soon to judge about the final result. You will see that over the next 4-6 week the swelling will go down significantly. The degree of swelling and the speed of recovery largely depends on skin quality, type of the procedure, and many other factors. Be patient, keep your head elevated during sleep to speed up the resolution of edema, and check back with us in a month or so to tell us how happy you are with your new nose. more

Tip swelling

Hi, Tip swelling decreases about 70% at the end of 4 weeks so you still have about 30% swelling left. The tip is the most dependent part of your nose so most of the swelling accumulates here so the swelling persists the longest here and near the incision. You should notice continual changes over the next 3-5 months.
