Why Do Rhinoplasty Results Take So Long to Show?

August 15, 2013

Hello doctors. I had a septo-rhinoplasty a month and a half ago, my nose doesn't look much different to me than before but I'm still pretty swollen so I'm hoping that my nose heals the way I imagine it. I'm curious why results take a year or longer to show? Can my nose look totally different in a year than it does now? Does the nasal skin tighten? I would just like to know more about the healing process. Thank you!(:
