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

markky_03Sep 25, 2012
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.

If it is a recurrent nasal infection several months post rhinoplasty, one should consider another cause including MRSA or a residual suture. Only as a last resort, if it is recurring, then an infectious disease consult may be useful as well as operative intervention to remove any foreign bodies...
