Nose Changes Over Time Post Rhinoplasty

Your nose will change over many years.  It will not look just like it did when your splint was removed.  Good luck and be well. Dr. P

Still swollen

At 12 days after surgery there is most probably still significant swelling of the soft tissues of the nose.  Expect that the nose will be thinner and slightly smaller and that the tip will rotate down just a bit.  It can take up to a year after rhinoplasty for the final result to become apparent.  Make sure you follow your surgeon's directions and follow up regularly for the best result.
