I had my cast removed today and it is swollen from the sides, top, and tip. I'm feeling discouraged. When will this swelling go down?- Atleast the sides. I liked how my tip looked on the first day of surgery, when I came home from the hospital. It was more defined looking? Now it just looks like a glob that's connected to my forehead.

Answer: Swelling After Rhinoplasty Typically, the initial swelling after nose surgery subsides within two to three weeks. However, residual swelling, especially in the tip of the nose, can take about a year to resolve as the contour refines. Swelling can also vary through the day, being more prominent in the morning. Try and be patient during your healing process.

Answer: Rhinoplasty healing Healing from rhinoplasty takes time. Do not judge your nose the day the cast is removed because it is swollen from the surgery. Sometimes, the swelling is worse the next day after the cast is removed because the compression on the nose has been taken away. In a few days from now, the swelling will start to go away. Do not bump your nose, eat salty food, get a sun burn, exercise hard at this time as this will cause more swelling. Ice will not help at this time. As only your surgeon knows exactly the maneuvers performed in your surgery, I recommend you to follow the directions of your surgeon. Best of luck - when it comes to swelling, time is your friend.
