It’s just been over 6 months since I had my rhinoplasty and my nose is still uneven. One side looks a lot less swollen than the other. The really swollen side also feels very thick to touch whilst the other side feels thin and normal. Is this something I should be concerned by?

Answer: Swelling can remain for 1 year It generally takes about 1 year for the swelling to completely resolve after rhinoplasty. For patients with thicker skin, the swelling may hang around for a long period. I would give your nose more time for the swelling to subside before assessing the final aesthetic outcome.

Answer: Swelling after rhinoplasty We usually suggest to our patients to apply tapes over the nose and, sometimes, nasal breathing tubes, to controle breathing and inside the nose swelling. Applied over night for a period of 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer if swelling persists, this seem to help controle postoperative swelling in most of our parients. Good luck.
