Why does the nose take a whole year to settle after Rhinoplasty & does weather play a role in recovery?

sweet_lavendar
Is this just because it continues to heal? If someone is doing the procedure to get a smaller nose, roughly how long after the surgery will they begin to see the size reduce? If I live in cold weather, will this impact time taken for swelling to go down?
