“Rhinoplasty for Broken/deviated Nose”

I'm in the exact same situation as you. 3 Weeks ago I had my bridge narrowed(fractured the bone) and deviated septum fixed. Every morning I wake up it's really swollen, and it swells up when it's hot. The swelling goes down down at the end of the day, and when it's cold out. I read that this could take a year to disappear completely. I suggest sleeping with your head up straight, this helps the swelling. Good luck.

swelling is the worst part of recovery. all doctors under promoting the significance of swelling. the truth is, no one knows when will that ends, but it can take years for sure...

I had rhinoplasty four weeks ago yesterday and my nose tip is swollen a lot in the morning. It seems to be worse the last couple of day as I am retaining water anyway. I am going to try sleeping with my head elevated a bit tonight. It's going to be a long few months as this swelling thing is frustrating. I knew it would be, but living it is entirely different. I'm a coffee drinker (a natural diuretic) and my swelling goes down early in the day, but still swollen much more than it was at week 2.

I am 6 months post-op. And everyday I wake up with bloated nose. Don't know whether it is full of blood or water. It turns fine late at night. I am really worried.
