I had reduction Rhinoplasty to make the nose smaller about 3 month ago. After getting the splint off, I was happy cause my nose seemed small but now everytime I look in the mirror it seems to be getting bigger.My surgeon told me that massaging will help it, but its only making it worst and sore. Is this normal? should I stop massaging,and will it go down again?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Swelling
Swelling for rhinoplasty can last a very long time. It is in a year's time that all of the swelling would be resolved. It is not unusual for you to have swelling at 3 months that fluctuates.

I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon. It makes no sense why your nose would be getting bigger and why you would be experiencing some inflammatory response at this point in time. I t may help to review your photos as well.

Answer: Nose Growing After Rhinoplasty in Patient Not Named Pinocchio
Hi Grimesland,
Massage of your nose should not make it sore 3 months after rhinoplasty, perhaps you are massaging a bit too firmly Sven. You should have your physician examine your nose carefully to be sure that there is no infection or early cyst formation. Compare your photos to confirm if your nose is truly getting larger. Make sure that you tell the truth....I once had this patient named Pinocchio...just kiddin'. See your rhinoplasty surgeon. I hope that your nose settles well.

Answer: Postoperative swelling after rhinoplasty
Postoperative nasal edema is common after rhinoplasty and varies in amount and duration based on the extent of surgery, the skin thickness, and whether the nasal structure was increased or decreased in size. Patients with thick skin tend to have more swelling then patients with thin skin. When the nose is made smaller, the skin envelope still remains the same size; this often leads to more tissue swelling as it conforms to the smaller nasal structure.

Answer: Nasal Swelling after Rhinoplasty
If you were happy with the size of your nose after the splint came off tells me that swelling is the problem. Post-operative swelling can vary significantly between individuals. I have some patients "tape" their nose to control swelling. While steroids can also be very helpful, time is usually the treatment of choice for swelling.
