Uneven Swelling 2 Years after Rhinoplasty

After two years the swelling has resolved. Subtle changes may occur throughout life, but  if your not satisfied at this time have a consutation to consider  revision surgery.

Swelling 2 years after rhinoplasty.

Sorry but at 2 years there isn't any swelling left. The swollen area is something else. Like scar, bone or cartilage.

Septorhinoplasty Swelling

Most nasal swelling resolves within one month after rhinoplasty, while the final swelling takes at least one year to settle down. The nose will continue to change slowly with time, and plastic surgery does not stop the natural aging process. Swelling is not common 2 years after rhinoplasty. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon help determine appropriate options for you.

Uneven swelling still 2 years septorhinoplasty

After 2 years very unlikely you have ANY swelling left. Sounds like a poor result. No photos posted so seek opinions from boarded surgeons in your area. From MIAMI DR. B

Stop Blaming it on Swelling

I don't believe that the asymmetry that you notice is swelling.  It most probably represents the asymmetry in the cartilage.
