Question

Hello I am 10-11 days post op rhinoplasty and my nose 2X the size it's suppose to be I know swelling is normal but when will this go down some so I look human instead of like bozo the clown :(

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

You will still have swelling 10 days after a rhinoplasty. In general, degree of swelling will depend on the following: 1) Whether the procedure was open or closed 2) Whether tip work was performed 3) Whether the procedure was a revision It can take one year for the final result  to be evident. I would be patient at this time.

Even without a picture I can assure you that you have considerable swelling 10 days after rhinoplasty.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Swelling of the nose at 10 days is the norm rather than the exception. It is going to take months for it to settle down. Be patient.
