Is my rhinoplasty unsatisfactory? (Photo)

Hello and thank you for your question. At three months it is very normal to be swollen. The final results take at least 1.5 years for the swelling to fully resolve. This can require lots of patience and waiting. Steroid injections performed by your surgeon can be extremely helpful. I usually start steroid injections around 1 to 2 months after surgery and continue as needed. I recommend that you maintain close follow up with your qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
