Rhinoplasty + 3 Weeks Post-op Q&A

Hello. I am 3 weeks post rhinoplasty. And i am really worried about columellar scar. The incision line is a little edematous from one side. I can clearly feel it with fingers. Will I need revision of the scar? How long should i wait until revision can be done?

I had a Rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago and my nose is still very swollen. How long is it normal to have rhinoplasty swelling after surgery?

I just had a rhinoplasty and alar last 3 weeks ago but still the scar from alar beside the nose were very dark and noticeable, is there anything i can do to lighten it? pls. help.

I'm 2.5 weeks PO open rhinoplasty - my scar is quite red, what is the best facial scar cream?

Had rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago to reduce a dorsal hump and raise my nose tip. I know swelling can distort the results and last a long time, however, what I'm seeing doesn't seem like swelling. The bridge of my nose is higher than it was before, and the area above where the hump used to be is now raised, and looks like a bump from certain angles. This bump and the entire bridge of my nose, is rock hard like bone. Doesn't feel swollen at all. Why is it like this?

Hi, I recently had a rhinoplasty and for my 3 week check in, the surgeon used dermal filler. Would this compromise the outcome in any way? Why would he use temporary filler right after a permanent procedure? At the time I didn't realize what he was doing, but because he was being kind of dodgy when I asked questions, I went home and researched it. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I had closed rhinoplasty done on 23 May this year. I am now over 3 weeks post op & have been taking photos every day. I've noticed that my nose looks bigger now than it did when the split & bandages came off. Is this because they were holding the swelling down? It also looked more concave than it does now. Will my nose eventually look more like it did when the bandage came off or will it look more like it does now? I've uploaded photos from post op day 7, 8 & 10 & then week 3 Thanks

I had Rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago today to reduce a small hump in the bridge of my nose. However, since the cast came off a week after surgery, I noticed 2 bumps on both sides of my nose below my eyes on the bridge right where the bump was removed. Feels as if they are getting bigger. It feels as hard as bone! What is this, will it go away? Do I need filler injections? I need answers. Please help.

I had my rhinoplasty exactly 3 weeks ago today. I'm not in a hurry to drink, but out of curiosity, when can I have alcohol?My birthday is in 4 months and I'd like to drink a few beers. If this is a factor, the type of rhinoplasty I had was a masculinization rhinoplasty with implant for the bridge and tip development.

Hi, I was just wondering if I have ruined my results by smoking 3 weeks post op. I had an open rhinoplasty and I have smoked about 10-15 cigarettes. Thank you!
