Is It Normal fro Swelling 2 months post-op Rhino?
Is it normal to have considerable swelling two month after closed rhinoplasty(Removal of a hbump). I am really worried because my nose looks much bigger after the surgery and it is not even symmetrical specially in the tip of my nose. I am really unhappy right now.

Swelling after Rhinoplasty...
Swelling after Rhinoplasty should be expected, and is normal. You will start noticing a change in the shape of your nose right after surgery, but it may take a few weeks for some of the swelling to subside. After the surgery it could take several months to one year for all of the swelling to go down and to see the final result of the surgery. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Sweeling After Rhinoplasty

It is not unusual for patients to dislike their noses for the first few weeks to months after rhinoplasty due to swelling and other features of the nose that will change over time. Try not to judge the results of your...
