Am I still swollen? I had a rhinoplasty 2 years ago (Photo)

If your nasal appearance is the same in the morning as at the end of the day, that is indicative that all of your swelling from surgery is gone. I know you're unhappy with the appearance of your nose, however, you appear to have a pleasing nasal appearance. Please consider re-asking your question with before and after photos for a more definitive answer about the front view of your nose. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question and pictures. Typically the swelling should be fully resolved after 2 years, so if you are still unhappy with the appearance of your nose, you would need a revision rhinoplasty to properly correct your issue and to solidly reinforce the entire underlying framework to assure you get the BEST long term results (to prevent distortion and retraction from scarring forces over time). Anyone who tells you otherwise is doing you a HUGE disservice!

Revision rhinoplasty is truly a surgery of millimeters- they are the most technically challenging procedures in all of plastic surgery! Because your nose is the DEFINING feature of your face- I would only recommend seeing a surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty procedures, and who has significant training and experience performing these surgeries. I actually trained under one of the world leading revision rhinoplasty experts (who performs 1,000+ nosejobs annually).

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, I recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with revision rhinoplasties) to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate your options, and develop a personalized plan just for you. I hope this helps!

Hello E,
The swelling after rhinoplasty is all gone by 2 years, usually by 6 to 12 months. One of the problems with having procedures away from home is that it is difficult to follow up with your surgeon. If you are not happy with the appearance of your nose, you may consider a revision rhinoplasty with an expert surgeon. I would recommend Ari Hyman MD (Encino, CA) or Dean Toriumi Md (Chicago IL). Good luck and be well.

It appears that you nose and nostrils could be narrowed further. Also I would raise the tip. It’s worth getting some second opinions.

Hello!, Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question for get rid of this image I recommend you revision rhinoplasty.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best regards!
