Can rhinoplasty change your eye shape? (Photo)

Question

I got rhinoplasty a week ago and my eyelids look higher/more pulled in/closer together, will this go away or stay like this ? I hate how it looks, is there something I can do to fix it ?

Hello and thank you for your questionThe initial swelling from your rhinoplasty procedure could be the cause of your eye-shape change. After several weeks, the majority of your swelling should be diminished and you can begin to get a better idea of your final results, however, it could take several more weeks, even months for swelling to completely resolve.

Mohsen Tavoussi, MD, DO · Answer

The facial changed one may notice after Rhinoplasty could be temporary or permanent. Most of the changes in the nose are usually permanent after resolution of the swelling which can take up to a year. The temporary changes of other part of face could also be the result of the swelling or changes as the result of osteotomy. However, the changes you have noticed on the upper eyelids is from swelling which will resolve after several weeks.
