Hello there, I recently had a nose job and requested the immediate photography of my nose after the operation while I was still lying on the operation table. My question is : Are these photographs a good representation of my final result? I assume they are as the swelling takes a while to kick in ? Can anyone shed some light on this topic? Thanks

Answer: How accurate is an immediate photo after rhinoplasty compared to the final result? Very good question. It is actually quite accurate. Swelling sets in after and takes months to subside, so an immediate post-op fotos does give you a good idea of your final results.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are correct, on the table photographs may be a better representation than those taken several days later as the swelling sets in. However, it does not necessarily show the final results. During healing process even in those who do not get any complications such as an infection, wound contraction does not occur completely symmetrically, and scar formation varies from person to person so the only way to see the outcome is to remain patient and see the final results 12 months after the surgery.
