It's been 18 days since my rhinoplasty and can see that the left side of my nose is higher than the right side..could I please get some opinions here?? Is this swelling?? It's really frustrating me and not happy with it if this is how it's going to look like. Any feedback from doctors is highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Answer: Rhinoplasty I agree with opinions below don't panic contact your surgeon and discuss your concerns, most likely it is swelling.

Answer: 18 days post rhinoplasty surgery and my front profile is not even. Is this swelling? 18 days is still very soon after your surgery, and there will be swelling present that can affect your result. In general, swelling can give the appearance of asymmetry and irregularities. 70% of the swelling is resolved after the first 3 months and the remainder goes down over time. It can take up to 18-24 months to see the final result of your surgery, and the nose will continue to change over time. I would recommend following up with your surgeon, as he/she knows the extent of your procedure and exactly what was performed. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Answer: 18 days post rhinoplasty surgery and my front profile is not even! Is this swelling? The nose can be swollen for up to a year or more. Swelling will depend upon the nature of maneuvers employed, presence of grafts or implants, thickness of skin, open vs closed, revision vs primary, etc. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
