Sigh~~~ my new nose is 5months old. The tip was built w septal and ear cartilage, the bridge w silicon. Over the months it remained undefined, bulbous. Is it due to formation of scar tissue? Or due to thick skin? Am i already close to the final result? And that i won't be seeing significant change? Should i be considering a revision ?
Answer: Swelling Thank you very much for this interesting question.Swelling time after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity (Ex.: Rhinoplasty with nasal controled nasal bones fracture (osteotomy) will have greater inflammation than one in which only the nasal tip treatment).But, generally 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.-

Answer: Thick skin With thick skin you are only 30 % of the way into recovery as it takes at least 18 months to slim down more - however your thick skin may limit how refined it becomes

Answer: Tip swelling Hello and thank you for your question. At five months post-op you are still swollen in the tip. See your primary surgeon and share your concerns. Hang in there--I hope it gets better.

Answer: Bulbous Tip Most likely you will see some improvement with time, how much is hard to predict. You need to wait until a year and sometimes longer. Judicious injection of Kenolog by your surgeon if he has enough experience with this injection may help.Proper taping, even at this stage, may produce small amount of improvement.
