My rhinoplasty also included getting my nose pushed back in order to shorten it how ever I still feel like it looks quite big and long,l. I am 3weeks post op now. Is this just due to swelling or will it remain this length and size? Also the nose is slightly slanted to one side , is this also due to swelling?
Answer: Postop rhinoplasty swelling It's best to realize every nose heals differently. It's important to be patient. Your nose will heal over months. You likely will have good days and bad days. Over time your nose will get better and swelling will Subside. Your surgeon should see you over the year of healing and advise you. I hope this helps.

Answer: Nose still looks big After a rhinoplasty, the nose can look big in places where ressection of bone or cartilage has been performed. This can be explained by the swelling, but also there is presence of scar tissue, which can have a volume that can distort and make parts of the nose look bigger. It will take time to look like the final result, often one year after the operation. Sometimes the scar tissue can be injected with triamcinolone at low doses to decrease the rate of scar formation.

Answer: 3 weeks postop with swelling At 3 weeks postop, you likely have diffuse swelling throughout the nose. This is expected and completely normal. The swelling will continue to subside over the coming weeks to months. Be patient during this process and allow the swelling to come down before focusing on certain asymmetries present on your nose. Be sure to follow up with your rhinoplasty surgeon during this time so they can monitor your nose for any changes and address any concerns you have along the way.
