How long does it take for a “curve” or “slope” to fully show after surgery?

Asked By:emily265 in Los Angeles, CA

Hello! It’s been about almost three weeks since my rhinoplasty. I had an open rhinoplasty that focused mainly on fixing the bump on my nose and giving my nose a little “curve” or “slope.” Three weeks later and my nose still looks big to me ( I know it’s still swollen) and my nose still looks pretty straight. I’m reallyyy hoping that a cute little curve will start to become defined at some point near at least the six month mark. How long should I expect to see results? I hated my straight nose.
