Still Have Swelling 7 Months After Septorhinoplasty, Should I Worry?
I had an open septorhinoplasty about seven months ago. Unfortunately, the swelling has yet to subside and I have a tip which looks like a round ball and its rather big for my taste. I had a severely deviated septum; however, my tip was very fine prior to the procedure. Should I be concerned considering it has been seven months and I am this swollen at the tip? I spoke to my surgeon at six months and he informed me I would lose 1mm of swelling from each angle of my tip. Is this true?

Swelling 7 Months after Septorhinoplasty
It is possible that you have residual temporary swelling 7 months after a septorhinoplasty, especially if you have thick skin. It is not unreasonable to expect your appearance to improve over the next 6-9 months.

Swelling in tip
At six or seven months you more than likley are still swollen. Give it at least a year before getting too upset. Also remember that if you have thick skin, it may contribute to the tip bulkiness.
