Two Weeks Later and the Tip of My Nose is Still Wide and Bulbous? (photo)
It has been exactly two weeks since my rhinoplasty and i told the doctor specifically to make the bulb like tip ( wide from the front) more narrow to be more pointy. It is now the 14th day and the tip of my nose has not changed one bit in fact it might even be larger than it used to be. I was wondering if anyone could let me know why this is happening?

Nasal Tip Swelling 2 Weeks After Surgery
Two weeks is way too soon to judge how the tip of your nose will ultimately look after your rhinoplasty. This part of the nose takes the longest for swelling to resolve, and some of the subtle changes may not be apparent for a year or two.

Tip of Nose Swollen 2 Weeks post Rhinoplasty
The tip of your nose is swollen because you are normal. I suggest you talk to your surgeon about post op progress so you know what to expect over the next 9-12 month as swelling resolves and nasal definition improves.

Swelling from surgery
Be patient. Surgery always causes swelling, the final results from rhinoplasty may take from 6 months to two years to become apparent. Express your concerns with your surgeon.
