I like the surgery result in the beginning but it's getting worse every week now I'm in (week.3) after the surgery! I do not like my Rhinoplasty results so far. This is so sad, depressing.! It looks weird and way too big in the tip area. What should I do? I am miserable right now. is there a good chance that this is the shape it's going to be? If the swelling went away quickly everywhere else, how can I tell if my tip is still swollen or that is the final shape?

Answer: Postoperative Rhinoplasty concerns I would encourage you to have patience throughout the healing process. The nasal tip is frequently the subunit of the nose that can have prolonged swelling despite all the other regions looking somewhat healed and normal. This varies from patient to patient and is dependent on the thickness of the skin envelope of the nose. If you are someone that has thicker nasal skin, then it is completely normal at this point in your postoperative course to have more swelling in that region compared to the other areas. In my practice, for this patient population, I find that they will sometimes benefit from a kenalog(steroid injection) or nasal taping to reduce the overall amount of swelling in that region. In short, give it time because you are very early in the postoperative healing for a rhinoplasty.

Answer: 21 days out from rhinoplasty You are still very early in the recovery process and need to just relax and give your nose time to continue healing. The swelling in your tip can persist for many months so continue following up with your PS.
