Had surgery 18 months ago. Apparently I have thick skin. Nose looks ok from one side but from the other it looks witchy it seems like it’s swelling in photos but it hasn’t gone down at all i press it and it’s hard. I want to know if this is final result or if there actually is still swelling, just want honest answer.

Answer: Most swelling should be dissipated 18 months after rhinoplasty surgery. Some people can hold on to nasal swelling for up to 2 years after rhinoplasty, however, you are likely looking at a close version of your final result. Your photos show a relatively pleasing nasal appearance, so please consider re-asking your question with the description of what you would like to improve upon. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Is my nose swollen… Hi Rachel,At 18 months post rhinoplasty, most if not all of the edema should have resolved at this point. Some extremely subtle changes can continue to occur but these likely would be difficult to perceive by most people. I anticipate that the area of your concern is likely going to remain unless you have more intervention. The area is potentially a result of the underlying structural anatomy or scarring. I would recommend seeing your rhinoplasty surgeon for follow up. I hope this helps. Wishing you best of luck.

Answer: Postop Rapl, 18 months continued swelling? Very nice looking series of photos but at two sharper angles in without a solid color background and poor front view. Best to repost photos taken with a background that’s one color front view oblique view, side view. But appears you have reached your final swelling at one year and now that you’re 18 months it is not swelling it is the final result. Appears your nasal bones are still wide and there might be a super tip deformity? Best virtual consult with. Revision fee $18,000-$30,000..
