Day 9 post Rhinoplasty.. Please help!! (photos)

As my colleagues have mentioned you are very early in the healing process. However, the swelling in the area above your tip is unusual. I recommend that you call your Rhinoplasty surgeon and forward a photo. They will want to see you and check on your nose and ensure that you're healing properly.

I have seen cases where the supra tip region is markedly swollen at 9 days out from rhinoplasty. At this point, only your surgeon really knows what was done to this region. I would express your concerns to your surgeon. In some cases, taping the nose and/or injecting steroids can help with more moderate swelling this early in the healing process.

Dear meh2at 9 days post op there is significant swelling. You should share your concern with your surgeon. In general, you will have a good sense of the dorsum at 6-8 weeks and of the tip at 3 months. Both will continue to change for 6 months to a year.
