Bridege, tip swelling. 4 weeks after broken nose
The obvious swelling usually resolves after 2-3 weeks. Swelling from a broken nose is less than swelling from a rhinoplasty in the tip. It's the tip that really take a year for swelling to resolve.
I believe you are referring to the time to treat nasal fractures after traumatic injury. In order to reposition the fractured bones after nasal trauma most surgeon prefer to wait between one to two weeks for most of the swelling to subside in order to have a better approach to reposition the bones. When performing Rhinoplasty the complete resolution of swelling can take 6-12 months in order to see the final results.Good luck!
