Thank you very much for enquire.It's too early to make value judgments with 2 weeks after rhinoplasty.Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Do not be concerned it is far too early to see the results from your procedures.  At this point in time you have extensive swelling.  You will need to be patient and allow for the swelling to dissipate.  This process in the nose will takes months to resolve.  Keep close follow up visits with your surgeon during the post-operative period.  There are measures such as small steroid injections that can help with swelling. 

This is the early stage of healing of this still extensive swelling in the nose and the chin.  It is very hard to assess the results this early if you want to expedite the healing process, especially in relation to the swelling urine after Dr. to give you a Medrol Dosepak and also concentrate on cutting down salt intake, alcohol intake, sun exposure, or exercise.Based on the photographs, it appears likely that the overall result.  Will continue to improve with time.  You should not feel insecure as the pictures show your looking really good and attractiveRegardsDr. J

Hang in there! As long as the shape and swelling are improving week to week, however slowly, there is still hope for the final outcome. Ask you plastic surgeon if there would be any benefit to taping or a steroid injection that can help speed your recovery. It takes over a year to realize the final results of rhinoplasty. Think of it this way, one millimeter of swelling would not even be noticeable in a breast augmentation. One millimeter may be the whole difference between success and failure in a rhinoplasty. It will take well over a year before that last millimeter of swelling has gone away and right now there is even more swelling as it is still very early.

You are only a twelve days post-op you are likely still very swollen. Best to be patient and give it 6 months or longer for the swelling to subside.
