I had closed rhinoplasty a month ago, my skin is thick and oily. I´m developing a pollybeak but i'm not a candidate for cortisone (incipient bilateral cataract). Taping seemed to work but I'm afraid it was working better the 1st days. My PS suggested massages only. I'm depressed. Do i have any other options? Hyperbaric therapy? Ultrasound? Thank you!

Answer: Rhino Recovery and swelling Thank you for your question. With any nasal surgery, the name of the game is patience. At one week, we would expect you to have quite a bit of swelling and bruising still noticeable and may have trouble breathing out of one or both nostrils. By the end of two weeks, typically, you will still be swollen but look more like you have a bad cold, rather than post surgical. Swelling can take up to a year to be completely gone, however, by 9 weeks you will look very good and should see big difference from your pre-op pics.

Answer: Tip swelling after rhinoplasty Swelling after rhinoplasty surgery (especially an open procedure) is common. It can take several months for the final result to be seen. You are still in the early healing phase. Massage and taping should help the healing process, but patience is also needed. I recommend that you continue to work closely with your plastic surgeon. He/She should be a source of reassurance and support as you continue to heal and improve.
