Hi, The bases for the appearance of your nasal bridge will depend on when your procedure was performed and what technique was used, in particular if osteotomies were performed. In general terms, initial swelling after primary rhinoplasty surgery can be due to oedema (fluid in the soft tissues) or scar formation. These factors will typically improve over the course of 6 to 12 months and sometimes even over 18 months. At NorthEast Plastic Surgery, we therefore advise patients during weekly post operative consultations for 6-8 weeks in order to manage swelling with oedema control strategies and scar management advice, including the use of LED therapy. If osteotomies were not performed by your surgeon, the width of the nasal bridge may be anatomical and due to the failure to narrow the nasal bones. It might be worthwhile seeking your operative records to establish whether or not this procedure was performed during your surgery. Best wishes Dr Sugitha Seneviratne
