I'm having rhinoplasty surgery 4 months before I get married. I am getting the bump removed and the tip shortened/refined. I understand that there is swelling after surgery and that the nose doesn't fully settle until a year after surgery. However, my concern is being very swollen on my wedding. I don't mind if my nose is the same size as now, I am just concerned with having a swollen-looking appearance or having my nose look larger than it currently is.

Answer: Rhinoplasty prior to wedding A year in advance would be ideal. With the dates that you listed you should be ok, but of course there are certainties. I think 3 months recovery before a major even is the least amount of time, but it also depends on the patients tolerance of risk. With that said I had a patient who walked the runway as a evening dress model the day we took the splint off (1 wk). Her photos is in my realself gallery.
