When will shinyness after rhinoplasty usually resolve?

Question

I have a fracture line where the doctor broke my nose to take off a hump on the right side of my nose. Will the shinyness diminish over time? How long will it take? I am 6 months and a half post op.

William Franckle, MD, FACS · Answer

It is impossible to give you a direct answer to your question without
reviewing your surgery and examining you in person. Shininess can just be the nature of a
patient’s soft tissue envelope (thin). Visible fracture lines as you describe
them could be many different things so it is best for you to direct this to your
rhinoplasty surgeon.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

It is hard to know just from the description.  If you can have your surgeon examine your nose that would be best.
