How Long Does Swelling Last After Rhinoplasty Surgery?

January 28, 2009
Asked By:KendraW in vancouver

I had rhinoplasty about a 2 weeks ago, currently the tip is quite swollen and the skin almost feels stretched or thicker? All of the other swelling is gone but the tip looks almost bigger than it did before. Is this normal? Usually how long will the swelling last?
