Post-Rhinoplasty Swelling and Nose Tip Concerns

Hi everyone, I'm feeling quite distressed at the moment. It's been nearly a week since my rhinoplasty procedure, and I can't help but think that my nose looks larger than I had hoped for. The doctor recently removed the cast from my nose, but I'm not entirely pleased with the current size of my nose. I'm wondering if anyone else experienced a similar situation after their nose surgery. Did your nose initially appear larger, and did you eventually become satisfied with the results over time? I still have stitches on my nose, and I'm hopeful that once they are removed, my nose will take on a more desirable shape.

It's only been less than two weeks since your surgery, and you'll have to deal with this for like six months to a whole year.

Don't worry about it. The swelling will gradually go down over time.

I had my surgery about three weeks ago, and the puffiness in my nose has gone down a lot since the first week. Just hang in there, it'll get better in around four to five months. No need to stress too much.

Congrats, my dear! Wishing you good healthπŸŽ‰πŸ‘πŸ˜Š. I get it; you're not supposed to compare surgeries, doctors, or people. But when I see how it turned out for others, I can't help but think that maybe my nose isn't as well done in the lower part. πŸ€”πŸ‘ƒ

No need to stress, like you said, everyone's body reacts differently. For instance, my brother had way more bruising and swelling in the first few weeks, but for me, after just a week and ten days, my face hardly looked like I had surgery at all.

Sure thing! So, like, for the first week, my bruises pretty much looked the same, but in the second week, they started to fade away and eventually vanished completely.

This past week felt super long, and my main bruise showed up in the first two days, even though it wasn't all that bad to start with.

You're aiming pretty high! πŸ˜„βœ¨ But just so you know, you'll have to deal with the swelling and puffiness for at least six months. It's pretty clear that in the first week, your nose is still puffy. As time goes by, it'll improve, and the swelling will go down. So, don't expect it to magically shrink every time you check it out in the mirror. πŸͺ„πŸ‘ƒπŸ˜…

Since my nose was kinda fleshy, the bottom part of it didn't narrow down as much as I hoped for, and this swelling has made things a bit more complicated.

Oh, your nose is a bit fleshy too, huh? Well, you'll have to be patient because the swelling will take some time to go down. The bandages on your nose might need to stay on for a while, maybe even up to two years, before your nose settles completely. But just so you know, most of the swelling should go away in the first few months.

Did you experience any pain during your surgery? Does rhinoplasty always involve pain? Were you not scared?

It doesn't hurt because you don't notice anything when you are unconscious, and then there is no strange pain either. It is unbearable.

No, no, it doesn't hurt at all. It was much easier than I thought. There was nothing special about anesthetizing. I didn't understand anything. Then I opened my eyes. The operation was over. There was plaster on my nose. It didn't hurt at all. It's difficult for the first few days when you may not be able to eat easily, you can eat watery and soupy foods, there is nothing left

It's hard to say if it's just swelling or if the doc didn't make your nose narrower. I know someone whose nose stayed swollen for like four or five years after their surgery, and it didn't get smaller. You'll have to wait and see if it's just swelling or if the doc didn't do a good job narrowing your nostrils. Hopefully, it's just swelling, and you'll start feeling better soon. 🀞😊

One of my friends had a nose that was both too big and crooked. She had surgery, and it turned out well.

I got my nose job done around twenty days back, and the puffiness has gone down a lot since the first week. Don't stress too much; it's gonna take some time. Your nose will get better slowly over four or five months.

I'm not exactly sure, but it could be that some folks don't experience swelling after a nose job. You should probably check with your doctor for more info. It could also be because his nose is naturally bony, and his skin is thin, which might result in less swelling. Typically, noses tend to look more swollen and puffy after surgery, especially compared to naturally bony ones.

So, what's the deal with the difference between a fleshy nose and a bony nose?

Fleshy and cartilaginous noses tend to look wider and more rounded when you view them from the front. They've got thick skin, so you can't really feel the nasal bone underneath. These noses are usually soft to the touch and have a smoother appearance.

On the flip side, bony noses stand out because you can see the nasal bones more prominently. They might have a hump or a deviation, making their issues more noticeable. That's because they have thinner skin, which makes everything show up more.

Hey there. My mom had her nose job just four days ago, and she's super freaked out. The cast hasn't been removed yet, but her nasal holes are large and swollen, making her look like a pig. We're both scared to death; we even cry together.

Before the surgery, she had a hump on her nose, and her nostrils were on the larger side, but you couldn't really see them from the front. But now, they're sticking out a lot and kinda pig-like. Do you think it's just swelling? Will it improve later on? I'm really concerned. And I've heard that the nose tip can drop a bit after a while, is that true?

Hello. could you tell me who performed the surgery on your mother? Can I see a picture of her nose, or could you send it to me? I'm also having a nose surgery next week, but after reading your opinion, I got very stressed and uncertain. I'm afraid mine will turn out bad too.

I'll tell you something strange about my nose: it's swollen on one side only! πŸ˜„ One side is puffed up more than the other. I told my doctor, and he said to give it a massage for now; it will gradually get better.

I am trying to figure out my nose shape and maybe what ethnicity it might relate to. The tip of my nose is round, but the bridge is pretty straight. What would that be considered?

What ethnicity do I have based on my features or what ethnic features do I have ? I need to know what ethnicity I might be based on my facial features. Are there any specific ethnic traits in how I look, like my nose shape or face structure?
