My Eyes Seem to Be Very Swollen After Rhinoplasty? (photo)

September 25, 2012
Asked By:markky_03

I had a rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and turbinectomy around 2 months ago. When I first got my rhinoplasty, I was very swollen under my eye lids. It feels like in the last 3 or 4 days, under my eyes have got extremely swollen, red and puffy. I would say they are worst than the prior 2 weeks before. I am going to attach a link that shows different pictures of my nose and bruising. Anyone have any idea what's going on with me?

David C. Pearson, MD says:

It's absolutely expected that you wouldn't see much effect yet. If the Kenalog is going to work it usually takes a month or more to show results, especially if your surgeon was appropriately conservative with the amount and concentration of the steroid.
