Rhinoplasty Results Don't Match Projected Outcome Photo

Results after rhinoplasty surgery take some time to appear normal. The soft tissue sweling often imprairs the ability to see the results of the surgery in the first one or two weeks. Allow several weeks for the swelling to subside and maintain a close relationship with your surgeon to determine the next course of action if you are still unhappy with the nasal profile.

After 12 days, I'm sure you still have significant swelling, so you can't tell what the final result is. You have to give it a few months. The computer is a very powerful tool and can make dramatic changes to a nose that sometimes cannot be duplicated in real life. We always try to approximate an imaging result, but sometimes the skin is too thick, or the cartilage and/or bone needs more support, so we can't duplicate the computer result exactly.
Be sure to address your concerns with your surgeon as the weeks go by and look at your pre-op photos with him to ensure you are getting your points across. Good luck.
