Swelling after nasal surgery
The answer is yes the swelling in the nose will slowly dissipate the majority of the swelling should go down within the first three months and the residual swelling in the tissues and tip may take a full year to completely heal. Give this some time and you should see improvement in the near future. Best regards!

Nose swelling after surgery
This is the most common question and concern after nose surgery. Because of the position and composition of the nose it takes an exceedingly long time to have all the swelling go away. Surely your plastic surgeon explained this to you. Think of the tissues of the nose as a sponge. This sponge takes a long time to dissipate all the water it is holding. Patience is a virtue and your best friend.
