How much smaller do u think the tip will get ? Got rhino 2/25/15
Hello and thank you for your question. Tip swelling will reduce in the following phases:You lose 1/3 of your tip swelling in the first 3 monthsYou lose the second 1/3 of your tip swelling between 3 and 9 monthsYou lose the last 1/3 between 9 and 12 monthsAt this point, you have a long way to go so be patient.Aaron Kosins, MDPlastic & Rhinoplasty Surgeon
Dear Kissa, In general the tip is the last place for the swelling to dissipate. Typically the majority of the tip swelling is reduced within the first few months with the final swelling taking an entire year. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon to help give you peace of mind during the recovery phase. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
