9 weeks post rhinoplasty. Bridge of nose still looks big, in general nose looks big from the front. Any suggestions? (photos)

Dear jonnyboy13,

Thank you for your clinical post. A rhinoplasty is a complicated procedure that
is characterized by breaking the nasal bone, is often reducing a nasal bridge,
bump and refining the nasal tip. It is
very common for the nose to look very enlarged even at 9 weeks. Often the bridge looks quite good at 6 weeks
to 12 weeks and certainly by 6 months the bridge will be stabilized. And the nasal tip, however, can take up to
one year to look more trivial, that’s refined underlying cartilaginous
improvement.

At this point in time, it is important to return to your
operative physician and rhinoplasty surgeon as they are in the best position to
guide you. It is not uncommon to look
enlarged at this point and you should still feel reassured.

I hope this information has been of some assistance and best
of luck.
