I had an open rhinoplasty - final diagnosis from the doctor says they worked on the nasal hump and deviated nasal bones. the tip of my nose is a lot more crooked now and nose looks weird and asymmetric. Dr says it is swelling and mentioned they tied the cartilage together on the bottom and says a lot of work was done to my nose they found extra bones inside. dr says this is swelling, tip is hard- dr says if it stays like that he will do the surgery free in 6 months but says its only the tip.
Answer: 3 weeks post op, some advices: Thank you very much for enquire. It's too early to make value judgments with only 3 weeks after a rhinoplasty. Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity. In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months. To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you. Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Early post op results It is very early on in the healing process. You are doing the right thing keeping your surgeon up to date with your concerns and changes you are seeing or not seeing. After an open rhinoplasty, particularly with the amount of work that it appears you had done, it can take some time to see how the nose settles. I know its easy for me to say, but do your best to stay patient. Continue to follow the post op instructions and telling them your concerns. Best of luck.

Answer: Too soon to judge I understand how frustrating it is to come out of surgery and not see the nose of your dreams, but it can take anywhere from 6 months to a year to see your final results. 26 days post op is way too soon to judge. For now, be patient and kind to yourself as your body heals. If, at 6 months, you are still not happy then yes, speak with your surgeon, but I generally think it best to wait a year before getting revision surgery.Kindly,Kouros Azar
