I am wondering when I can start to breathe easier? I feel really stuffed up and am wondering how long the stuffy feeling is considered within normal range. Thanks!

Answer: Nasal congestion after rhinoplasty... The entire inside of the nose swells up after rhinoplasty. While the swelling starts to go down when the cast is removed, it can take two months to fully heal on the inside of the nose. It may even take a bit longer for all the swelling to go down. Be sure to keep your surgeon informed of your issues.

Answer: Stuffiness Post Rhinoplasty Hi there. Post rhinoplasty, you may experience some discomfort with breathing. Swollen nasal tissues may cause your nose to feel "stuffed up" and this can last for several weeks following surgery.

Answer: Stuffiness Can Last a While Feeling stuffed up after rhinoplasty is completely normal. And how long that sensation lasts varies from patient to patient. You don't mention how long it's been since your surgery, but swelling after rhinoplasty — which can result in the stuffy feeling you're talking about — may take weeks, or even months, to resolve.
