Wavy Nose After Rhynoplasty/septoplasty Common?

Hello,

 

At 3 weeks post-op, it is very early to assess the results of your surgery. Usually, it takes about 12 months for the end results to get established.

Without photos (before/after) and physical examination along with the full details of your surgery, it is hard to provide you with a solid diagnosis of why you do have the described nasal irregularities.

I recommend that you keep your surgeon in the loop of your nasal transformations and to be a little more patient letting mother nature take its course.

As for a revision, I think you may end up with commendable results and so the idea of a corrective surgery will not be even necessary. The best thing you can do at this section of the race is to follow your surgeon's instructions religiously and to protect your nose from any possible trauma.

I hope this helps.

The best of wishes to you and thank you for your inquiry.

If is possible to have uneven swelling in the area of bone fractures done during rhinoplasty. You should check with your surgeon to see if anything needs to be done about the issue such as massaging the area.

You are still early in the healing process and may have uneven swelling. Consult your surgeon for further postoperative direction. However, do not try to judge the results until 6 months post surgery.

I cannot answer your question 3 weeks after surgery. Wait about 6 months to submit pictures that members of this panel can review.
