Can a meaty nose go back to normal after rhinoplasty? Is the nose re-swelling normal?

September 29, 2015
Asked By:aida.azizi in Beverly Hills, CA

Its been 5 weeks since my surgery, my swelling went down and look so good around the 4th week but now as each day goes the tip keeps getting bigger and bigger, my mum says its just swelling up again!Is that possible? My nose is a meaty nose and Ive heard with meaty noses the nose can always go back to how it was, is that true? Will the tip go back to being really thick like it was before my surgery, please help :((
