Swelling Again 3 Weeks After Rhinoplasty with Silicone Implant, is It Normal?

Did you change anything in your routine that may have caused your swelling to increase? It is not abnormal to still have swelling at this point following your procedure. However, you should be evaluated as soon as possible to determine whether or not you have an infection, as you mention there is pain present. If there is an infection, your surgeon will need to address the issue. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

   If your doctor has examined you and has determined that there is no concern for infection, then swelling may be considered as a normal variant at this time.   Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

The main thing that I would be concerned about is an infection.  Especially if you are reporting increased redness and pain.  You need to be check by your surgeon.  The problem is that a silicone implant is a foreign body and once infection it will need to be removed.  It is also possible that at this point you need to be placed on additional antibiotics.
