If I have a wide nose and go through Rhinoplasty, will my nose look even wider during the initial days post surgery?

How bad is nasal swelling postoperatively? post rhinoplasty there is swelling and overtime the development of scar tissue all of which make the nose look slightly wider then it will ultimately be. However in people with fairly wide noses where steps were taken to narrow the width of the nose,particularly the bridge and the tip it still looks thinner than the original nose, though not as thin as it will ultimately be.

Much more information is needed come us it such as a full set of facial photographs to determine which procedures are required during your rhinoplasty procedure. An open rhinoplasty procedure makes the nasal tip swell more than a closed rhinoplasty procedure. Osteotomy's placed in the nasal bones are usually required, therefore the nose is going to swell after the surgery. A cast is applied across the bridge of the nose for one week, and there's approximately 2 weeks of visible bruising and swelling. It usually takes 3 to 4 months for the majority of the swelling to subside, especially in the nasal tip and even more so if you have thick skin in the nasal tip. Full healing is a full year after the procedure.
