7 weeks post tip rhinoplasty - swelling is worse. Is it connected with summer heat? I had tip rhinoplasty 8 weeks ago (bulbous tip was narrowed). I imagine there was a lot of work done with cartilage. I am taking pictures of my nose as time goes, and I noticed that 10 days after the surgery the nose looked better than it does now (and in the morning it's even worse). I was wondering if part of this swelling is due to the heat outside(but then why after spending a night in a room with AC it is even worse?) How long does the noticeable swelling last after just tip rhinoplasty?
