I was just wondering how much of nose has healed after 6 months post op rhinoplasty?

Everyone's healing process is different. Also, patients with thicker skin tend to take a bit longer than those with thin skin, and younger patients heal faster than older patients. Generally, patients feel comfortable going out in public 7-10 days from surgery, usually with little or no bruising. At 1 month substantial swelling has gone down but the nose will still have swelling. At 6 months substantial change has taken place, patients are quite happy, but they understand that the nose is still holding some swelling and that good things are expected in the next 6 months. At one year we can say that the healing is essentially complete.  Even so, I see patients back at 3, 5, 15 years after rhinoplasty and additional refining of the nose occurs over that extended period, past the one year mark. This is a well known occurrence. You our can certainly send photos if you would like a more specific answer for you and your nose.  Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your question. In general 1 year is the overall time for healing of the nose. swelling wise, by 6 months 80 % of swelling is gone and the rest will dissipate by a year. everybody is different. Finally, make sure that your doctor is
aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.

Wishing you the best in your journey
