In 2 months the majority of the swelling will be gone, but you will still have a fair amount of swelling in the tip which will be evident in your photos. So, no it is not ideal and if you can have it before it would be better.Having said that, there is a reason you want to have rhinoplasty and I would then say that your result would likely be better than the deformity or problem you have now, even at 2 months time.Good luck.
Most of the swelling after Rhinoplasty goes away in the first two weeks after surgery, but some mild swelling may be seen for several months. However, your great result should already be clearly noticeable. Of course, there are no absolutes, so be sure to find someone who is an expert at rhinoplasty and does a lot of them so the procedure won't be as traumatic and the swelling usually resolves faster.Good luck!
First off, congratulations on yourupcoming wedding! As far as the swelling post-nose job is concerned, I wouldsay that you might want to schedule a little more time. Though the majority ofthe swelling subsides within a 2-month time frame, the longer you wait, themore the swelling will go down and the more your new nose will start tosurface. If possible, try to schedule the surgery with an additional month ofhealing time to have even better results.
Normally, the early recovery requires one week for the splint and sutures to be removed. One can usually return to work in 7 days. Most of the initial swelling and bruising is gone in 2-3 weeks. However, you will see subtle changes over the next 12 to 15 months post op so one must be patient during this time of wound healing internally.
2 months is appropriate for all of the bruising to go away but there is a good chance that you will still have swelling. If this is acceptable to you before your wedding, then go for it! The early results of this surgery are evident in two to three weeks and are usually quite gratifying. However, you will continue to notice an improvement in the contour and form of your nose for six to twelve months as the last remnants of the swelling disappear.
It generally takes about 1 week to 'recover" from rhinoplasty surgery. The pain after surgery lasts only a few days, and a great deal of swelling is gone after about 2 weeks. That being said, people heal differently after surgery....depending on your ethnicity and the technique the doctor used to perform your rhinoplasty. You may experience swelling of the nose (especially the tip) for 6-12 months after surgery. This is a question for your surgeon, for only they know the amount of work that needs to be done on your nose and the nature of your skin and soft tissues. You need to discuss this frankly with your physician.
A rhinoplasty 2 months prior to your wedding is certainly not ideal, however, you will not be in significant pain nor should you have significant swelling. The final result of your surgery will be closer to one year. The obvious nasal and facial swelling after a rhinoplasty should, for the most part, be resolved in time for your photos and the wedding. Some patients can experience some difficulty breathing after a rhinoplasty for a few weeks, but the majority of patients will be breathing normally by two months.
There should be no pain after the first evening, if at all. The swelling will not show to anyone besides you and the surgeon after 2-3 weeks.
You can certainly recover from a rhinoplasty in 2months but if you develop a complication then its a different story.You are better off not putting yourself in such a stressful situation. You might be better off waiting till after your wedding. If your nose can be improved with Restylane or Juvederm that might be a quick and safe alternative for now. That will get you through wedding photos and later you can have the rhinoplasty.Regards
By 2 months you should have no discomfort after the operation. Visually, the nose should look pretty good but some fine definition might not emerge for months more due to swelling. However, you should be reasonably close to the endpoint chosen by your surgeon and you.
You can thin the skin during rhinoplasty. This is done by conservatively defatting the skin primarily along the dorsum and around the nasal tip. The procedure is performed during your rhinoplasty and from below the skin. The surgeon cannot be over aggressive in this procedure as the potential...
Generally speaking, alar modification is performed at the time of the rhinoplasty. Since the alar tissues are modified externally, and this would not involve reopening or manipulating the rest of the nose, the honest answer is that it could be done at any time. The risk is that, with a lot of...
In general, if one has oily skin the swelling may be prolonged and may require longer than 12 months time to heal and see the final result. As it usually takes 6-12 months, it may take 12-15 months.
