Rhinoplasty - Signs That Nose Is Still Swelling Months After Surgery?

Some swelling is typically present for about one year following rhinoplasty. Other than the appearance of the nose I always tell patients that firmness is a sign of residual, temporary swelling.

There may very well be residual swelling after as long a 3 months after rhinoplasty depending on how much was done and how thick the nasal soft tissues are (thicker more fibrofatty tissue holds swelling longer than thinner tissues).  Wait a full year before evaluating the final result and any possible need for revision.
