6 Weeks Post-Op Rhinoplasty, Will Swelling Continue to Decrease or Is This My Final Result?

I would expect your nose to have quite a bit of swelling still at only 6 weeks after surgery. Depending on the approach and what was done the swelling can last many months, often up to a year.

The majority of the swelling improves over the first few months of surgery, but the remainder does take a while to completely go away. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon as that's who can examine your nose and has the best idea of what was done.

i tell patients to resist the urge to pass any judgement on the quality of a rhinoplasty result until the three month mark.  "final" results are seen at one year.  i placed final in quotations marks as rhinoplasties have the potential to change for several years after the procedure depending on the technique.  some of the grafts used are desinged so help control and limit the changes that can occur in the long term.

Rhinoplasty healing is steady but, very slow. You need to be patient. Any revision procedures need at least one year of healing time/
