Generally the nose will be considered ~90-95% healed at 2 years after surgery, and typically will not undergo major changes in appearance after that point. You may notice some subtle increases in definition, and it is important to follow up closely with your surgeon to ensure there are no other mitigating factors.

Hi, It's Dr Burak from Istanbul. Full healing process may take up to 2 years or more. Every patient is different but skin thickness also play an imprtant part. Right now all you can do is to follow healthy life habits such as walking, drinking enough water and taking necesarry vitamins. You can always ask for advice to your own doctor.

Complete recovery from septorhinoplasty can take 12-18 months, as residual swelling, especially on the nasal bridge, may persist during this period. Fluctuations in swelling are common and can be influenced by physical activity, temperature, or the natural healing process.
A follow-up consultation with your surgeon is essential to assess whether the changes you're noticing are part of the normal recovery or if further adjustments might be needed. Open communication with your specialist will help address your concerns effectively.

Dear sk0401,
Complete healing and stabilization of nasal shape will normally take at least 12 months. Minor residual swelling can last up to a year, particularly at the tip of the nose. Each patient's recovery can vary based on individual factors such as the complexity of the surgery, overall health, and adherence to post-operative care instructions. Regular follow-up with your surgeon is crucial to monitor progress and address any concerns.
