“My Nose Looks Almost Identical 7 Months Post-op”
meinva
Not Worth It
Spent: $3,800 in Beirut, Lebanon
Spent: $3,800 in Beirut, Lebanon
Pros: slight difference on profile.
Cons: tip still bolbus, nose swells to more than the original size in the mornings.
Got the surgery to reduce size of nose to fit my face. I may have emphasized to the doctor too much that i wanted a slight and natural difference that still reduced the size. It almost looks like I never got surgery, and it can't be too much swelling - it's been 7 months!
I understand it's difficult to answer questions without being in-person, however I'm seeking general answers. I got my rhinoplasty 7 months ago and was wondering if this is still too early to determine if my nose will keep changing or not. It's still just as big - could it still be swollen?This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.
Helpful review?
My Doctor: name not provided
He was an arrogant jack*** who probably played cards while i was under and forgot to operate on my identical looking nose.

Your nose could definitely still be swollen. It can actually take up to a year for all of the swelling to go away, especially in the tip.
Here's a related thread with lots of answers from doctors: After rhinoplasty, how long should the swelling last?
It takes about 18 months for all the swelling to be gone after most rhinoplasties. At 7 months, however, you should be seeing some improvement and some positive changes. If you have thick skin, you might need some steroid injections. You should consult your surgeon.
