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: Bulbous tip 4 months AFTER nose job? Swelling? The nose can be swollen for up to a year or more. Swelling will depend upon the nature of maneuvers employed, presence of grafts or implants, thickness of skin, open vs closed, revision vs primary, etc. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Bulbous tip 4 months after rhinoplasty surgery 4 months is still relatively early after rhinoplasty surgery. It's generally better to have a nose that's "too big" early after surgery. Rhinoplasty swelling occurs both on the outside and inside of the nose. Patients are generally "restaurant ready" and socially acceptable within 2 weeks following surgery. Most swelling after rhinoplasty resolves within a month. The final 20% of swelling takes a much longer time to resolve, up to a year after surgery. Fortunately, this final swelling is usually only evident to the surgeon and patient. Speak with your plastic surgeon, if you haven't already.Best, Dr. Chaboki
