Hi, I’ve just left my plastic surgeons for my 3 month check up, and she was stunned when she saw my face. We took our normal photos, and she said my nose actually looked more swollen than it did at my 1 month post op appointment. She touched my nose and it’s rock solid. She said normally at 3 months we start to see some definition, but my nose still looks like a potato. She said I’m in the “abnormal group” of people whose body isn’t responding well to the inflammation. Does this happen to others
Answer: Nose swelling hasn’t changed 3 months post op rhinoplasty. It's more swollen and rock hard. Does this happen to others? Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your rhinoplasty. However, you are still early in your recovery process. This procedure involves the manipulation of the nasal bones and nasal cartilage, which then leads to an abundance of swelling. The swelling causes your nose to look big.It also misguides the results of your procedure. It takes a few months to one year for all the swelling to go down. Until then we can examine your final results. Be patient. Continue to go to your follow up appointments. If concerns persist, please contact a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Your tip cartilages will feel hard after a rhinoplasty and this can take many months to resolve. You should notice gradual improvement and eventually your tip skin should have full sensation and be soft and supple.
