My nose shows very little definition and a bulbous tip. The bridge as a result seems flat and under projected. Can I still expect more healing, of is this close to a final result? Dr. performed open rhino with septoplasty, dorsal hump removal, and sectioning of the bones as well as collumella reduction. He said he reduced the tip projection only a tiny bit.
Answer: Nasal tip still swollen? Hello, and thanks for your question. At 5 months postop, you certainly still have some residual swelling in the tip of the nose. Although a lot of the swelling resolves by about 6 weeks postop, the rest of the swelling takes about a year to resolve, and the tip holds on to the swelling the longest. For now, the best thing to do is be patient and keep in touch with your surgeon. You cannot really judge the final result until about a year postop. All the best.

Answer: Tip swelling after rhinoplasty Typically, the initial swelling after nose surgery subsides within two to three weeks. However, residual swelling, especially in the tip of the nose, can take about a year to resolve as the contour refines. Swelling can also vary through the day, being more prominent in the morning. Try and be patient as your nose continues to heal.
