I'm 11 days post op and when I removed my cast I thought my nose looked really ugly and I looked like a pig, but now 3 days after removing my cast, my nose has gotten a little puffier and it looks way better than it did when I removed the cast. I heard when you remove the cast that's what it will look like. Is it because my tip was higher? I hope it ends up looking more like it does 3 days after removing it then before.
Answer: This is not your final result Neither of these photos will be your final result. It takes months before the swelling goes away enough and your tissues have healed enough that you will finally have a good sense of what the final outcome will be. The difference you are describing is likely some temporary swelling after the compression of the splint was removed, but the swelling will go down again a lot in the coming weeks. Hopefully you like your final result even more!

Answer: Swelling Hello,The nose changes after the cast is taken off. It usually takes 1-3 years for the swelling to fully go down after a rhinoplasty. The tip takes the longest time to heal and mold to the new framework because it is the thickest skin of the nose. The skin over the profile is thinner than the skin over the tip. Your nose changes when it is healing, and you are in a very early stage of healing. You will see your permanent shape closer to a year after your rhinoplasty.

Answer: Swelling Common After Cast Removed The cast compresses the tissues of the nose to keep swelling down, and when it is removed the swelling can no longer be controlled and it can dramatically appear. This swelling can take months to subside, with the tip being affected for the longest. Please wait until swelling subsides before evaluating your results.

Answer: Nose appears puffy after cast removal Immediately after the splint or cast is removed, it is common for the nose to look more defined. After the compression has been removed, the skin and soft tissues can swell and the nose can take on a puffy appearance; this can take weeks to months to significantly improve. After rhinoplasty, tip shape is typically the last thing to settle before seeing the final result; this can take 12 months or longer. During this time you will notice that the size of your tip decreases as swelling resolves and subtle details and tip definition appear. Additionally, you may notice that your tip derotates and deprojects somewhat depending on what was technically performed during surgery. It is important to be patient after rhinoplasty and allow adequate time for recovery.
