I recently had Rhinoplasty and once my cast was removed my nose looked very square, flat and bony, and looked unnatural. My nose quickly swelled up that day and I was relieved as it eventually looked rounder and more natural-looking. At 4 weeks following surgery I’m happy with my nose but worried that it will look unnatural again once all the swelling is gone. Does the pressure of the cast affect how the nose initially looks once it is first removed, or is this likely to be the new shape of my nose?
Dear Elizabeth,
If you like your nose now, it's likely only going to continue to improve. I tell my patients that you'll look funny when the splint is removed. What you see now is more like the final result. Sit tight, and enjoy your summer, and new nose.
Best regards.
