Is this all normal after Rhinoplasty?

January 30, 2015
Asked By:salvina83 in Palm Harbor, FL

I did Rhinoplasty and l'm now 3 weeks post op, my lips are very dry, dry skin, my eyes and face looks extremely tired, very hallow eyes and a week later after surgery when I stopped my medications (steroids for my swelling, clindamycin and pain meds) I have been having bad diarrhea since then until today and crazy allergies basically sneezing all day. Is this all normal?

All of the refinement done with rhinoplasty is initially obscured with swelling. The tip is usually the most swollen and remains swollen the longest. You are very early in the healing process and will not see all the specific refinements for many months. I tell patients that at about six months...

I'm 9 days post op, and the space between my eyes seems further apart after rhinoplasty. Is this swelling?
Paul G. Gerarchi, MBBS, FRACS (not practicing) says:

What you are experiencing almost certainly relates to swelling. It is extremely unlikely that the actual distance between your eyes has been widened by a rhinoplasty procedure. I'm confident that your appearance will improve as the swelling settles. Hope this helps
