I had a rhinoplasty 13 years ago. Nose swelling after pregnancy

November 14, 2023
Asked By:Mcelo1986 in Houston, Texas

I had a rhinoplasty in 2010. I just had a baby 11 weeks ago. When I was pregnant my nose was so swollen! I did not really notice until I look back at photos now. I have noticed that the tip of my nose still looks larger and it’s uneven now. Could this still be swelling from pregnancy? I was under the assumption that would go away in the first few weeks. if I visit my surgeon, would he be able to somehow confirm this is swelling or has pregnancy changed my nose shape somehow?
