Hello, I am wondering if my nose appears to be healing properly 8 months post-opp. Today it is red and appears to be swollen likely causing the crooked appearence. I am hoping for opinions confirming this. Thank you!
Answer: Rhinoplasty's and swelling Rhinoplasty surgery is a very intricate and detailed procedure. In general our head's tend to swell or bleed more than other body parts because of the significantly higher concentration of blood vessels, due to the brain's high oxygen demand. We tell all of our patient's that after a Rhinoplasty your nose will go through different healing fazes for up to at least one year. Which means that lingering swelling or discoloration can be visible throughout these twelve months post surgery. We recommend taping and gentle icing and compression exercises to help with the swelling. Ask your physician is there are any other ways to help aid in swelling reduction such as an anti inflammatory medication or injection.

Answer: You appear to have sensitive skin. Sometimes people have sensitive skin and their noses can become swollen and red after rhinoplasty surgery. As long as this is temporary and all of the swelling ultimately resolves, this should get better overtime. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
