“Swelling on Tip After Nose Surgery - Huntington Beach”

hi clair i used to have the same probleme ,the tip of the nose swelling,after having to rhinoplasty done and it lasted for almost two years although it started coming down now therefore i advise not to worry too much about it and put in mind that whatever surgeons tell about the fact that it takes about 6 to 12 month to swell down is wrong because it can take up to 36 months to see that tip of your nose in its new size and look.good luck

Me too! I just had rhinoplasty, and after the first week my tip and bridge looked small and now my tip and sides of my nose are bigger than the first week. I am on my second week and very disappointed. How is your nose looking now?

Hi there. I have swelling too in both sides of my nostrails and I swear my tip is sinking down, is that possible or do you think it is just swelling? I am very concerned. It has been awhile for both of you, how do your noses look now, better?

HUGE difference. It's been almost a year for me now and I LOVE my nose. I STILL don't think all the swelling has gone down yet, but the way I look now verse the way I looked in January (8 mo) is substantially different. I think it really takes 2 years to see your final result, changing only to your own eye up to 4 yrs (from what I have read). It's super hard to wait and see, I know--but have faith, the swelling will go down. I took a photo of myself (front, & profile) every 2 weeks and made a flip book in order to see the improvements. My doctor said you get used to your new looks and forget how big it was previously--so I made the book and he was right, I can really see the changes. Good luck, and have faith, swelling takes FOREVER to go away--especially if you had open rhinoplasty and/or thick skin.
