Is This Normal? 2 Weeks Post Rhinoplasty and Nose Looks Different From the Sides? (photo)

this is very normal at two weeks. The swelling often goes down differently and at different rates on each side. This will usually stop at another 2-4 weeks. Be patient.

At 2 weeks after rhinoplasty, your nose is still very swollen and in the healing phase.  It is normal for the sides or even different parts of the nose to look different side to side.  You will notice that the swelling will come down over the next few months and that all of it takes a year to resolve.  Although you would think the swelling would go down symmetrically, you will notice that swelling will go down in different parts of the nose on different days.  You may also notice that some days it looks thinner than others.  It may have to do with your level of activity, diet or way that you sleep.
