Is my Tip Swelling Normal? (11 Weeks Post Op Rhinoplasty-with Extensive Tip Work) (photo)

After 11 weeks, you will still be experiencing swelling. In general, 70% of the swelling is resolved after the first 3 months and the remainder goes down over time. Swelling may be influenced by the following: Whether the procedure was open or closed, whether the procedure was a revision, the thickness of the patient's skin, and whether or not tip work was performed. The tip is usually the last to come around, and I would give it some time and see how you continue to heal. The final result may not be evident for 18-24 months after surgery. Your surgeon should be able to answer any post-operative questions you have, as they know the details of your surgery and exactly what was performed. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

The amount of swelling in the tip is greater than normal. I wonder if you had any tip grafts placed at the time of the operation.

Though still ear;ly in healing phases you should be seeing some results. Best to compare the before photos to recent afters.
