I had rhinoplasty about a 2 weeks ago, currently the tip is quite swollen and the skin almost feels stretched or thicker? All of the other swelling is gone but the tip looks almost bigger than it did before. Is this normal? Usually how long will the swelling last?
Answer: Swelling after Rhinoplasty It is VERY normal to have swelling at this stage after surgery. Although the length of time for swelling to resolve after rhinoplasty varies among patients (some taking up to 2 years), I tell my patients that swelling will resolve across the dorsum (bridge) in 6 months, while the tip and sidewalls (region where glasses sit) take 12 months.

Answer: Swelling can last a few months The tip will feel thicker, hard, and woody in the postoperative phase for the first couple of months due to lymphatic edema, scar tissue and healing that has not completely subsided yet. The tip will look bigger for the first couple of weeks until the swelling comes down.

Answer: Swelling after Rhinoplasty lasts about a year After Rhinoplasty, it can take up to a year or longer for the tissues to completely settle and the swelling to resolve. While the majority of the swelling resolves within the first few months, the tissues continue to change over the next year.
