Is It Normal Not to See Rhinoplasty Results Right Away?

April 13, 2009
Asked By:Alice in Rhino Land in Australia

I had a Rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago. According to my surgeon, the tip has been enhanced and the base has been narrowed. But up until now, I don't notice any changes at all (not even a minor). Is this normal? I know that the healing process takes long time and final results wont be realized prior to 12 months, but I guess at this stage I should be able to notice a difference.
