I know this Q is probably asked way too many times and Ive read them all. However, I had my rhinoplasty two months ago. My nose was swollen before too but still looked a bit refined. Now, after two months the tip is so swollen it looks like a balloon. It also throbs from time to time. I'm not sure why but would really like to find out what I can do to keep the swelling down. And yes, I am aware that I won't see the final results until one year. Thank you. :)

I do not allow my patients to perform aerobic exercise for at least 3-4 weeks after rhinoplasty for just the reason that you probably had nose bleeds. It can exacerbate them.
Though most of the swelling is gone after the first two weeks the thickness and stiffiness can persist for several months after the procedure before definition begins to show through. Waiting is very hard after rhinoplasty, though wait you must until you are further along.
Hello,
Based on your description, at 2.5 weeks post surgery you are not quite well recovered. That being said, there should be no reason to panic thinking that your results were ruined and you will have a bad nose down the line.
Most likely, the hits that occurred may have little to no...
