I had silicone implant inserted 8 days ago. Im worried My radix seems to high. It seems to be levelled with my forehead. Is this swelling and will it drastically drop or is it too high for my forehead even after the swelling comes down.
Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. With any nasal surgery, the name of the game is patience. At one week, we would expect you to have quite a bit of swelling and bruising still noticeable and may have trouble breathing out of one or both nostrils. By the end of two weeks, typically, you will still be swollen but look more like you have a bad cold, rather than post surgical. Swelling can take up to a year to be completely gone, however, by 9 weeks you will look very good and should see big difference from your pre-op pics.
