Crooked nose implant or just swelling? (Photos)

Thank you for your question. Patients may experience swelling for the first 2-4 weeks that gradually subsides over that time period. After rhinoplasty, patients should not judge their results until at least the 3-4 month post op mark but keep in mind that it takes up to 12 months to fully heal from the surgery. Please discuss your recovery expectations with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

Thank you very much for enquire.

It's too early to make value judgments with only 1 week 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.-  

You are very early in your recovery period and the nose is expected to be quite swollen at this point.The swelling during this time is rarely symmetric. One side will always resolve more quickly than the other. The majority of the swelling will resolve in 3-6 months, and will continue to resolve as your nose heals for up to 1-2 years. You have not reached your final shape as the nose will continue to heal and reduce in size for up to a year. Once it does reach its final shape you may be more pleased with the appearance of your nose.
