Is This My Final Result 8 Weeks Post-Op?

Although it is possible that your dissatisfaction may not improve, the result you currently have will change over he course of 1 year.  I would advise that you wait it out, because changes (hopefully for the better) are inevitable at this point.

Dear hotchocolatetamThanks for the question. 8 weeks is too early to make a comment about the result. a couple more months you have to wait for an approximate the result. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your question!



It is understandable that you are
concerned. Changes after rhinoplasties vary with
every patient and what you are experiencing is not uncommon especially that swelling
takes time to subside as it masks the results of your surgery.

It is important to keep in mind that it
is early to pass a judgment. Usually, a year is required before formulating how
your nose will be, but longer with a thick skin. Even then, your nose will keep
shaping itself to complement your face for better results in the years to come.



My best recommendation at the moment is
to be patient, allow nature to take its course and edema subsides for better
results. There is no doubt that once the swelling resolves, more definition and
shape will be achieved and you should be happier with the results.



Also, it is important that you keep
communicating with your surgeon and work as a team together to achieve the best
results possible.Should you remain unsatisfied with the end results once the healing process is almost completed, a revision rhinoplasty can be a great solution for the right candidates.Please keep
in mind that following the advice from a surgeon online who offers to tell you
what to do without a physical examination covering the nature and the status of
the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and
discussing the pros and cons of each operative solution would not be in your
best interest. With that in mind, it is the safest and for your best interest
to find a plastic surgeon with solid experience and certified by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society of
Plastic Surgeons that you will trust and be comfortable with. You should discuss
your concerns with that surgeon in person.



Congratulations on your surgery and remain positive!
