3 weeks post op Rhinoplasty, one side seems more swollen causing it to bend slightly. Is this normal? (photos)

Generally speaking, it can take 6 to 12 months to completely heal after surgery. Please keep in touch with your surgeon or his/her clinical team to discuss your ongoing concerns.

Unfortunately, rhinoplasties take a long time to heal and see the final results. My advise is to be patient and communicate your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes,Gary Horndeski M.D.

Overall, your surgeon did a great job.  The tip does look deviated but it is very early in your recovery.  Communicate with your surgeon and give it more time.  Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

The two sides of the nose do not heal at the same pace, and it is normal for the two sides to appear different. I am sure your surgeon explained to you that swelling is a process and will take months to resolve. At this point it appears your photos are o par with what is expected.
