Why is my nose healing at a super slow rate? (Photo)

Thank you for your question!



It is understandable that you are
concerned especially with the rate your nose is healing. Changes after rhinoplasties vary with
every patient and what you are experiencing is not uncommon.

It is important to keep in mind that it
is early to pass a judgment. Usually, a year is required before formulating how
your nose will be, but longer with a thick skin. Even then, your nose will keep
shaping itself to complement your face for better results in the years to come.



My best recommendation at the moment is
to be patient and allow nature to take its course. There is no doubt that once the swelling resolves, more definition and
shape will be achieved and you should be happier with the results.



Also, it is important that you keep
communicating with your surgeon and work as a team together to achieve the best
results possible.



Congratulations on your surgery and remain positive!

EVERYONE HEALS AT THEIR OWN RATE, IT DOES TAKE SOME TIME TO HEAL FROM A RHINOPLASTY. ANY CONCERNS YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR PLASTIC SURGEON

My colleagues have already answered that results after rhinopolasty can take up to a year to settle, & ur swlllng cn 2.Please, you are asking professionals who spent 25+ years of education to learn our skills, but you went for surgery overseas, and can't even have the courtesy to use proper spelling and grammar to ask for free advice!Everybody asking questions on this site has had their surgery elsewhere, and all of us taking the time out of our personal lives to answer questions do so without any sort of pay from any of those asking questions. Yet over and over we hear of patients who decide that surgical tourism is a good idea, but when there are questions or complications or need for revisionary surgery, the surgeons here in the USA and in your metropolitan area weren't "good enough" to perform your surgery, but are suddenly "good enough" to get free advice from. Amazing!Please call your surgeon and ask him or her for answers to your questions. Follow-up is an integral part of every surgery, and I make arrangements to provide this for every one of my patients, even those who travel from other states or countries for surgery with me. I hope you got a really good "deal" if follow-up was somehow NOT included.Monthly hormonal changes, salt intake, even the position you sleep in, can all have an impact on swelling. After a year, your final results will be evident, but before then steroid injections can help to reduce scar tissue (if that is the source of the asymmetry--personal examination is needed to determine if scarring is the reason for more swelling on one side). After that, surgical revision will be necessary to change what you don't like. Please choose your next surgeon carefully. Dr. Tholen
