It's Been One Month Now Since my Nose Job Has Been Done, and I Can't Yet Smell Not Taste. Is This Normal?

Having a decresed sense of smell may occurr after rhinoplasty, but usually resolves over a few months. There is a risk of permanent loss of smell, but I have never seen it. Let your surgeon know of your concerns, but you will most likely recover in time.

From time to time patients complain about a decreased sense of smell after rhinoplasty. I've never seen this not resolve although rarely it may take a few months.

Dear S.

One month is a short time to make judgment on the post operative (after surgery) appearance of the nose.

The nose can take up to two years to show the final result.

Also as the swelling inside the nose is decreased, you would be able to smell better.

Hope this was helpful.
