Answer: Nose looks larger 1 month after rhinoplasty Thank you for your question and your photos. One month after an open rhinoplasty, particularly in a patient with thicker or more sebaceous skin, there is likely quite a bit of swelling. This makes the skin of the nose, especially in the tip region, much thicker than it will be eventually. The waiting is the hardest part! But please stay positive. Meet with your surgeon regularly. You may benefit from massage or small injections of a steroid to reduce swelling. Take care.

Answer: Size No need to panic as this looks like lots of common post surgery swelling and just above the tip you have a fair bit . It will settle but if it feels soft and spongy above the tip a steroid injection may be beneficial

Answer: Post op rhinoplasty... One month is a very early time to think about the size of the nose. Male skin is typically thicker and it will take several months for the skin to shrink up around the cartilage and bone underneath. Be sure to express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine and monitor your progress closely.
