I just had my plastic splints removed today following deviated septum surgery (5 days ago). When does swelling go down?

The revision rhinoplasty for this situation is challenging, it will involve the lengthening of the nose to reduce the upturned appearance and will require grafting of cartilage. The NHS system will certainly not cover. You have no choice but to use a private surgeon either in UK or abroad...

The answer is that it may or may not be; cartilage grafts don't typically extrude 3 months postoperatively.  The most useful advice that can be given to you is to return to your Surgeon.

Insurance coverage for rhinoplasty in the cleft lip nose is possible if you have a breathing problem. Check with your insurance company first so you don't have any surprises.   

The small trauma to your nose likely just caused a small swelling which will resolve all by itself.  6 weeks after surgery the tissues have healed well, and the shape of the nose and the cartilege is not likely to be able to be changed by such a small trauma.  Continue to follow up...

   Tip refinement may cost $5000 to $7000 on the low end.  You may want a few other changes after discussion with your surgeon.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon since he or she performed your specific rhinoplasty surgery and can examine your case the most accurately.
