Considering rhinoplasty for dorsal hump - How long would it take to see complications, if there are any?

April 10, 2023
Asked By:Brave313393 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I'm considering a rhinoplasty to straighten out a dorsal hump and have read about various potential complications such as open roof, inverted v, pollybeak deformities etc. I understand that the final results of rhinoplasty take 12+ months to see, but when would a patient typically expect to notice if these type of complications were an issue? Would they be apparent within the first week, month, 6 months? When might I expect to feel fairly confident that there were no complications? Thanks.
