2 weeks post op Rhinoplasty, is it still swelling or what? (photos)

The postoperative time for most rhinoplasty patients is often fraught
with anxiety. During a rhinoplasty, the skin and soft tissues are often
completely separated from the underlying bone and cartilage framework. The
framework is modified and the skin is laid back down. These are big movements
that are often intended to create millimeter changes to the shape of the nose
once it heals. After a rhinoplasty the nose swells from the trauma of surgery
and the tissues become edematous. This makes the normally pliable skin firm and
causes the nose to take on a “weird” appearance in the first few weeks after
surgery. The nose continues to settle over the next few months as the edema finally
escapes and the soft tissues adapt to their new underlying framework. It will
take 6 months to a year to see a final result. Close follow-up with the surgeon
is essential. Assuming there is no infection, patients should allow at least 6
months for the swelling to resolve and the tissues to soften before
contemplating any changes. At that point, a detailed exam and discussion will
help delineate the best treatment option.

You are definitely still swollen from your surgery give it a few more weeks. Go back to the surgeon if you have any more concerns. Good luck.

You are most definitely still swollen at two weeks out from rhinoplasty. A lot of the asymmetry you see now is due to some of the swelling and tissue distortion, which should settle down. A rough guide is 60-70% of the swelling will typically resolve by 3 months out from surgery like this. Hang in there and happy healing.
