I was just wondering if this bulbous tip I'm seeing at the end of my nose especially when I smile is normal? It has been four months after surgery and almost everyone's picture on here that I have seen looks nothing like mine. The tip is still completely rockhard and I can't really move it. I did have an injection put into it but it was not be high dosage, And clearly did not do much. Help??
Answer: Rhinoplasty swelling takes 1 year to go away. Rhinoplasty swelling takes 1 year to go away. It is too soon to say anything about the tip. Be patient and wait the full year before doing anything.

Answer: Swollen After Rhinoplasty Swelling is not uncommon after rhinoplasty. The general rule of thumb is that it takes a year for the swelling to dissipate. Some surgeons find that in some cases it can take longer, especially for revision rhinoplasty patients. If swelling is persistent, make sure you speak with your surgeon to discuss any other options to help swelling decrease faster.

Answer: Bulbous tip 4 months after rhinoplasty? You will still have swelling after 4 months that can affect the appearance of your result. In general, 70% of the swelling is resolved after the first 3 months and the remainder goes down over time. The final result may not be evident for 18-24 months after surgery. Swelling can be influenced by the following: Whether the procedure was a revision, whether tip work was performed, whether the procedure was open or closed, and the thickness of the patient's skin. The tip is generally the last to come around. I would recommend following up with your surgeon with any post-operative concerns, as he/she knows the details of your surgery and will be able to provide you with advice. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your recovery.
