After Rhinoplasty is Performed, How Soon After Can You See if a Polly Beak Deformity is Forming?

Asked By:miss.kris in Houston, TX

I had an open rhinoplasty march 1st of this year, so I know I am relatively early on post-op. I think Im obsessed with the outcome results because I can not stop googling rhinoplasty complications- the one that comes up most is "polly beak deformity". Now when I look in the mirror I think my nose looks like I have polly beak. I know its only a month so there should be a lot of swelling or could it really be polly beak? How soon after can you tell if you have this? Sorry, I dont have pics to show
