I had a rhinoplasty 6 weeks ago to refine the tip and deproject my nose which was longer on one side than the other. After the surgery my nose was at least twice as big as before from swelling. Now, it is still bigger than before and as long as it was before. One side is still shorter than the other. Is it possible that my nose will be as long as it is now after the swelling goes down and is it going to be as bulbous. I am so Upset. The doctor overlapped and stitched to de project he says.
Answer: Nasal tip swelling The emotions you are experiencing are very common after rhinoplasty. Be patient and your tip will shrink and deproject. This may take more than a year, but your nose will change significantly over time. Best of luck!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. Swelling is common after rhinoplasty so your tip will continue to decrease in size as the swelling subsides. Be careful to avoid any pressure that could put pressure on your face or cause damage to your nose. Keep in mind it will take up to a year for your new nose to fully finish the healing process and settle on your face. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Post-Rhinoplasty Answer Thank you for your question! I know the immediate phase after a procedure can cause some anxiety. Try to hang in there, and remember that healing from a rhinoplasty can take up to 16 months to fully-recover. Patients can sometimes see a "change" in their nose almost daily for a certain period of time. Be patient, and make sure to reach out to your physician whenever any questions come up as they can help to coach you through the "what to expect" phases of healing from a rhinoplasty. Be well!Dr. Todd Hobgood, MD

Answer: Bulbous tip or swelling Very difficult to provide you feedback on your nasal aesthetics without seeing your entire nose; although your nose appears bulbous it may just be swelling; Please provide entire nose and face so that we can provide you more accurate advice.
