3 and a half months post rhinoplasty and one side still seems more swollen than the other. Is that normal at this stage?

Thank you for your question!Three and a half months after rhinoplasty is still very early on to be able to appreciate the final results of your procedure. We tell our patients to wait at least a full year until they can reasonably appreciate the results of their procedure. In many individuals, positive changes can be detected even beyond a year, at closer to 18 months! It is very common for patients to have more swelling on one side than the other. It can be very difficult, but just try to be patient and see if the swelling subsides.**Did you know we are *live on Snapchat* every day? We are St Louis' own plastic surgery reality show!

It can take a year or more of the swelling to completely subside after rhinoplatsy.  Be patient with the results..
