Do I Still Have Nasal Swelling One Year Post-op?
I had a septo-rhinoplasty one year ago. The very tip of my nose is still quite squishy - it's not hard like it is in other areas where I definitely don't have any more swelling. Is this a sign there's some residual swelling in the tip? Also, the skin at my bridge hasn't completed contracted yet, and is pretty loose. I'm only 22, and I did not have loose skin on my bridge before the surgery. Will it eventually contract?

Nasal Swelling 1 Year Post Rhinoplasty
Pictures would be helpful. In a patient with thick skin it can take more than 1 year for the swelling to resolve, especially in the tip. Bridge swelling is rarely present a year after the surgery.

Hello
You should leave 12 to 18 months for the swelling to completely subside after rhinoplasty surgery. If you have further questions you should visit your plastic surgeon.

Twelve months is a long time. Sometimes it takes eighteen months for rhinoplasty healing, but please see a Cosmetic Surgeon for evaluation.
