Post-operative swelling from Rhinoplasty - does it get worse before it gets better? (photos)
jrmiller2662Oct 12, 2021
I've seen so many versions of my nose is the last 9 weeks, but I liked it best wk 4, does it get worse before it gets better? I'd like to understand a few things: 1. What criteria do surgeons assess if swelling is still present? 2. What is occurring within and beneath the skin that causes the nose to shapeshift during the first 3-4 months? 3. Is it common to see the shape of the "old nose," sometimes bigger, in situations of large reduction to tip as the skin settles over the new structure? Why?
