I’m 2 1/2 weeks post-op and this video is very comforting. Everything he says patients worry about, I worry about. This puts me at ease. Thank you, doctor.
I reach my one year mark in one month and let me tell you, it still is changing!!!!! The final outcome takes time! Even affer a year, my nose still feels a bit sensitive. It is still slightly swollen on my right side as well as my tip. Trust the process!!!!
how does it look now do you love it?? im 3 weeks post revision op and omg my tip is slightly going to the left. when I raise my head you can see the tip going to the left as well as the mid bone called the septum I guess.. my surgeon keeps saying to keep massaging it and hold the tip to the right and it might get better, but im so scared of this un even ness. pls advice!
Sorry to tell you that it is not one year game. Swelling can fluctuate after 2- 3 years also. So consult to your doctor about this matter because you hadpaid for a good result not for a swollen nose. Also reply what your doctor said to you.
This is the video that has answered all my question. I am 3 weeks post op and I feel like the tip of my nose is too lifted and very round and swollen. This video has given me piece of mind... and though I know it's a long road in regards to the healing process, sometimes you just need to hear it again.
Hello, has your lifted tip (upturned nose) come back down? Can you please let me know how long to expect it to take before it comes back down post rhino?

I'm 4 weeks post-open rhinoplasty { "true thick skin" } & this rings true for me. When the cast came off, my nose looked HUGE. It was a discoloured potato for the first few days, but with the help of tape, the swelling dramatically subsided within the week. Now 4 weeks in, it certainly feels & looks like 90% of the swelling has subsided. I know this still isn't the end result, but I am already getting a very good idea of how it's going to look, & my nose feels much, much stronger. If you have thick skin, you definitely want to tape & keep the tape on for as long as you can. Take daily walks,. Gently exfoliate. Sleep slightly upright.
Im 9 days after surgery, cast was removed yesterday and im in such a big shock… my nose became very very HUGE.. before surgery it was slim and not big… so its this thing swelling i guess?? Doctor said that it gonna take tike to see full result, but still i need information is it swelling or?? Im just hopping and praying now that after 3 weeks when i must back to work my nose not gonna be so HUGE 😢
@@_MNFST_ You're 9 days after a trauma to your nose. You're going to look back on this & laugh, because you should know that of course this is swelling. Nobody comes out of a rhinoplasty surgery without swelling - it's a natural response to injury. If you have thick skin as I do, you can expect ups & downs of swelling for at least a year. Of course, the swelling you're currently experiencing won't last & will go down over the next 3 months, but you will have some level of swelling up to at least a year. You will know, even if your nose doesn't visibly look swollen, if you pinch the tip & if feels "full"/solid/rock hard... that is swelling. Best thing you can do is drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol & excess salt, sleep upright & use tape.
@@dnersargaren8677 can i get your fb or insta i want to message you if i get more things in my mind to ask you :) also i want to show my nose before surgery and now how huge it is, to talk with you who had someting like this before :))) im just scared a lot and need information :)
I’m on my 4th weeks (one month) Post Op and I’m glad I came across this video. It truly helped me, enlightened me, comforted me because I am so bothered. Your information Doc is a heavenly sent. You filled-in the lack of information from my surgeon 😩😢. God Bless You more Doc Sykes. ❤
This doctor is a life saviour 🙏🏻, I had my rhinoplasty just before 17 days. My nose was very big (bigger than the size of my nose before surgery) when my doc removed my splint (on 11th day post surgery). I worried a lot and cried because I looked like a monster. I saw his videos and gained some confidence. Although my surgeon said everything will be alright, I couldn't believe it, because he didn't explain things the way how this man has explained. Now it's 17th day after my surgery my nose swelling reduced little bit ( but still looks bigger). But I got confidence it will be alright. I will share my experience here after few more days.
Hello guys, it's my 25th day post surgery, my swelling has reduced little more at the bridge of my nose ( slightly reduced at the tip as well) but I still have the problem of uplifted big tip and worst than that is my tip is tilted towards right. My doctor said it'll become straight after swelling is gone. Other problems I'm facing: 1. My upper lip dropped down a bit (I can't see my upper teeth when smile, my upper teeth were visible when I smile before surgery) and became stiff which is making my smile weird 2. Sunken eyes I hope all my problems will be gone soon. But one good thing is swelling is reduced a bit when I compare with swelling on my 17th day.
@@AniaGida I can understand what you are going through because I was worried too. As my doctor said "be patient" so I followed. Its almost a month to my rhinoplasty and my nose is getting better day by day. The swelling from eyes, and cheeks is completely disappeared but my nose is still a bit swelled, especially the tip. It might take 3 to 6 months as per the dr said.
Love this video. What changed my perspective about my swollen nose is what he said at 2:25-2:41 , 3:36-3:59 and 4:21-4:59. It's been 8 months since my combo rhino/septoplasty, and my tip still looks wider and more swollen than pre-surgery (my bridge, however, has completely healed and is thinner which is what I wanted). I have to be patient, breathe, and trust the healing process
I’m 3wks post op and the swelling is literally killing me!!! Especially noticing my nostrils are asymmetrical, I know it’s common to heal at different rates I jus have high anxiety! I feel worse than I was!!
I'm 10 days post op and am having the same nostril anxiety!! the tip appears to be turned up to the right a bit more and it's making the one nostril feel a tag piggy ish. I also got my 'monthly friend' 2 days ago and was crying on and of the whole day, total catastrophe mode! It's aweful to feel like did I make the right decision??? This is my freaking face!! I hope your nose is healing better!
I’m 2 days post op and im grateful this video popped up because after looking at my tip constantly, I’m disappointed that it still looks too big and clown 🤡 nose like and already I was contemplating revision. However, thankfully, this video has definitely assuaged my worries. Thanks Dr. !
@@roseyry9248 it’s definitely gonna get better! Please hang in there and know that every day, your nose is gonna feel and look better day by day. I’m 5 weeks post op today and although my tip is still swollen some, my nose looks wayyyyy better 5 weeks post op than it did even 2 weeks ago. Just keep coming back to look at Dr. J’s video here as much as you need to to help you to feel better. I know I definitely looked at it several times a week because it was sooooo comforting to me psychologically
I'm 7 days post op and I already love my results! Can't wait to see what I look like without the swelling! (My swelling is actually taking place mostly on the bridge of my nose, not the tip)
@@msjackson4611 hi!! don’t worry ! if ur a month post op ur nose is still very swollen, i freaked out every day about it looking to big and asymmetries but now it’s much better, give ur nose time to settle
@@valentinfama7797 im very anxious just cried infront of mirror 😭 yes its been a month and my nose bridge is looking like avatar 😭 i dont even wanna look in the mirror because ill just get more and more depress 😢
This is so comforting, I'm 2 months post op and my tip is a little long and round, my nostrils a little uneven :/ I hope this will settle within the next 10 months! Will update every few months, please remind me☺
@@moey6346 Hey thanks for reminding me 🥰 i'm i'm a bit over 5 months post op now and able to blow my nose again, press my nostrils together and overall it's gotten a bit more flexible. But I think there is still some swelling left, because it still hurts a lot when someone accidentally hits my nose a bit too hard, for example when cuddling with my boyfriend. I know it will never be AS flexible as before but i do hope this will further go down :) Overall I am satisfied so far, but it's a bit too long for my liking, not longer than pre op, but about the same, just without the hump 🤔🤔
My nose surgery done for this 10 day but my skin to thick looked too big im scared and i feel cry alot i can't see my face at mirror. Dr told to me its take time to healing this not final result.. my maid can't accept it im full of scared... full off depression also .... thats why im see all videos ...how much time to take normally...... Im praying god plz i want good result ....
Excellent video! Thank you! I am 5 days post op revision rhinoplasty, my septum was completely repaired as well! I can’t wait to be able to breathe again!
I have super thick skin on my nose . I wish my nose was smaller and my tip more defined . My parents both have huge bulbous noses . I make the most of what I have bc my rhinoplasty was super painful and I don’t want to feel that amount of pain again.Thank you doctor for all your tips .
i had surgery and i’m in the middle of my school year i had it done during vacation and i’m so scared going back to school since my nose is huge now. i love my new sideprofile but my front is so swollen and looks fat
@@talhamazhar920 the results are brilliant, better than I could have hoped. Only issues is… I have a small perforation due to how deviated my septum used to be, but don’t worry it’s extremely unlikely you’ll have one!
@@sophierose8429 yeah, make sure you’re sleeping with two pillows to keep your head elevated. Sleep on your back and make sure taking behind the counter pain killers, eat mash potatoes with soup for first week (liquids and mushy food helped me because my lips were SWOOOOLLEN REAL BAD) but otherwise take it easy and try and get some light steps in around the house don’t just chill and bed.. hope this helps and hope you have a fast and healthy recovery 🙏🏽👊🏽
You totally nail all are crazy worrying. Your clear , your honest . Your confidence and relaxed demeanor suggest you know what the he'll your talking about. Your right u surgeons tell us but we want results now. You surgeons are not only amazing in surgery , but also for dealing with us insecure humans wanting results immediately afterwards and not trusting your EXPERTISE lol! Thank you!!!!!!
Sorry to tell you that it is not one year game. Swelling can fluctuate after 2- 3 years also. So consult to your doctor about this matter because you hadpaid for a good result not for a swollen nose. Also reply what your doctor said to you.
Try at least one year after Rhinoplasty for the swelling to subside and even at that it might take even longer if your body swells up with water weight as a women. Always give yourself longer than you think for any kind of results to take place. I am on my second surgery and find it is taking me at least 18 months to start feeling normal each time.
Iam 12 month post op septoplasty rhinoplasty iam still swallen on the tip and I cannot breathe well it is congested I smoke and iam quiting I hope the swallen and the breathing will go better
On my 16th day of septorhinoplasty. It's a bit tough as the swelling from the tip and side of nose doesn't seem to be improving. But hoping for it to get better when I go back to the doctor after 1 month.
I had a full rhinoplasty 10 days ago, and I had black eyes and swelling, which is normal the procedure i had. obviouslyi have a bit of bruising and swell8ng still, but Dr. Sycks is spot on with what he is saying in the video and to repeat a previous comment, it is reassuring to know how far this process needs to see the outcome 100%. it actually doesn't hurt as most people would think. I had exstenve work on mine as my nose was a complete disaster and it was only discomfort I had with the splins in there. I had four but they usually put two, that's how much work they did. Good luck to anyone looking for this op, I recommend it as I can now finally breath through my nose
I’m terrified of my septo and rhinoplasty coming up. I don’t know whether to expect pain or extreme discomfort. Seems like it varies depending person to person.
@utubeho24 no need to worry, it's more discomfort than things else. I had a full rhinoplasty because my nose was broken, right nasal passage was blocked, the other was deviated as well because of the break, and a deviated septum. the splints stung slightly as they were taken out but other than that, very minimal to no pain. but be patient with the results, mine has been 5 months and there is still healing to go through. just think of the result more than the operation, you'll be fine
@@julenjames thanks so much for this. I know every person varies in response to their pain and tolerance, I’m a wimp by far and the thought of not being able to breathe is giving me anxiety like no other. I’m hearing stories about ears blocked, no sleep and worse, none stop swelling to the point where vision is impacted (?) so I really appreciate you being direct and sharing your experience. They’ve given me both pain meds and Xanax in case I have an anxiety attack 😂 it is america after all… but don’t know which of the two poisons to pick. Ideally, anything that’ll help me pass out for the first three days which from my understanding are the worst of it right? Regardless, thank you so much, truly.
@utubeho24 you'll do fine, you're thinking too much and the Internet is full of stories which are overly exaggerated so people will feel sorry for them. I didn't take any pain killers after it 3 to 5 days as it wasn't worth it, and I looked very swollen but my operation was very intrusive and a lot of work needed to be done. if your nose is to remove a hump on the bridge and septum work, it's nothing trust me. what are you having done by the way?
@@julenjames thanks for this 👌🏼 will do my best to keep positive. I basically broke my nose in a severe car accident, when I went to check on it, my ENT who’s also a plastic surgeon said yup there’s a deviated septum and hump thanks to the impact. (Deviated from before of course), so septo-rhino is his recommendation. He’ll be fixing the septum, potentially removing some turbunite if there is any, and removing the dorsal hump and very slightly raising the tip. So I’m like ahhhhh what does this translate to pain and anxiety wise?
What my doctor recommended me for reducing swelling is using silicone gel sheets on my nose for a year, I use them when I'm indoors and when I sleep. I'm 4 months post-op and stopped using it for a week and damn my tip got rounded, big and swollen... not using them made me see the difference. What it does is compresses the tissues down and stops the swelling going up, it also prevents hypertrophic scars.
Sorry to tell you that it is not one year game. Swelling can fluctuate after 2- 3 years also. So consult to your doctor about this matter because you hadpaid for a good result not for a swollen nose. Also reply what your doctor said to you.
Very informative! You should also touch on the nerves, when the feeling will come back at the incision site (I’m 10 days post-op revision rhino, first time took weeks to gain back the feeling) and when you will have normal use of your upper lip again- movement (smiling, laughing, chewing etc)
It's been two months and a half since I had a nosejob. One nostril is more open than the other, the tip is still swollen and big, I stare myself in the mirror and then I feel a bit desperate and anxious, start wondering if something went wrong, if somehow I wasn't clear enough to the doctor how I wanted it to look... Then I search the internet for before and after pictures, I look up nose swelling, and the this goes on and on... My doctor said swelling goes down but not at the same rate for the whole nose, and that my nosetip will take longer especially since I am a man and have thick skin. It feels reassuring but then I fall back into this worry hole.
Don’t worry it’s just swollen it will get better with time . It’s been 10months since my surgery and my nose is sooo much smaller than how it was in my second month
Wow this is super accurate. I find myself staring in the mirror wondering if I wasn’t clear to the doctor or did I do something I wasn’t supposed to. I’m worried out of my mind and it’s only been 3 weeks haha. I’m sure we will come back to these comments a year from now and laugh this off.
I never thought I want this but my breathing problems getting worse as I aged . When I’m younger I can tolerates well but as I’m older it take over my health and I might reconsider. A lot of us having breathing problems without noticing it till we aged .
Thank! Your right. My human nature is interrupting my knowledge that my surgeon was terrific. ( Dr Mark McGowan. Vie Institute. Maroochydore. Sunshine coast. Australia) He said it would take about 8 weeks to see the best... All the very best to who ever reads this.
I just got rhinoplasty the day before yesterday. I still feel like crap and I have two big black and blues under my eyes. I’m here looking for comfort. I never seen my face like this. I hope it all goes well.
I’m in sooo much discomfort, my eyes, cheeks and upper lip is swollen. Although my surgeon took the silicone from my nostrils.. it still feels like there is something in there. I had some cartilage from my rib to build my bridge so that is also painful... my surgery was 7hrs .... I can’t get up without a struggle or walk properly ☹️😩 I want to heal 🙏🏽❤️⭐️
Hello Dr. Sykes. & Thank you for such informative and rich videos 👍👍. I'm entering my 7th week of post-op and still suffering from the swelling of the nose tip, do you advise at this stage : - "taping" ? and/or - applying Arneca cream/gel ? and/or - Massaging Thank you again 🎩🙏🙏
I have string inside my nose and it is driving me nuts. My surgeon says it will come out or dissolve on its one in a few weeks. I think this is the worst part of recovery, that and the congestion.
Is it normal to fell the nostrils are asymmetrical after only 3 weeks of the surgery?! I feel bad when I look at it but overall I am happy my nose is better than before but I wanted it to be perfect well defined if anyone experienced the same problem and it solved by the time tell me so I can feel okay... My doctor keep saying it's just the swelling...
5.5 months after rhinoplasty, I had an operation on the clavicle, and the next morning my nose was different, very rough, hard and swollen . Why? Now I'm worried, will it affect nose shape? It was very good before the operation and I liked my nose, but now I don't like it anymore😢😢
I’m 7 days out on my surgery and- Ahh! So THATS why my tip looks SO rounded!? I was super nervous my nose was going to look like this now and was upset lol. THANK YOU DOC!!! 🖤 ps- anyone getting this surgery USE ARNICA I HAD LITERALLY 2 days of bruising and that was it!!!! USE IT!!
Totally agree! I took arnica oral pills 1 week before surgery and only had bruises for 2 days it’s totally worth it. Also avoid your salt intake as much as possible this helped with my swelling to not get extremely bad.
My bridge still hurts and there’s a sharp pain inside my nose each time a take a deep breath. 2 mos post op and I’ve been experiencing this sharp pain since 2wks after rhinoplasty. Is this normal? My surgeon said it’s normal but I’m still worried. Btw, I undergone osteotomy also. I am worried about this sharp pain each time I take a deep breath
So it's normal for it to seem like the dorsal hump that was removed "return" due to swelling? I'm only 9 days post op. Trying my best not to worry and trust the process.
@@eliflorespires2633 Hey! I'm 2 months and 2 weeks post op now. My nose is not as "perfect" as it was when the cast came off, but it's quite close to it. It's almost not noticeable from the side profile (its only cause I know what to look for), a little more noticeable from the 3/4 view but I can't complain. It's a huge improvement from what it was and I'm very happy with it. We will be the only ones as critical with our nose, no one else will notice the minor bump we see. I'm sure it will heal into a nose that you are happy with.
@@aakashchauhan2208 I'm not qualified to answer that, but I'd say don't stress about it! Much to early to determine anything but it will most likely resolve itself.
Oh god this is so me. I’m almost two weeks post op. I’ve seen my nose on the surgery table right after the surgery from pretty much all angles on the pics taken by the surgeon. It looked perfect. I requested a straight nose but mine looked almost curved. Removed the cast. It looked fantastic. Then suddenly I caught a cold/flu, woke up with a hump on my bridge, it now looks fucking wavy. I was so okay with non linear healing process when it comes to the swelling and the tip but NOT with THE MAIN thing I wanted to improve which was my dorsal hump. It also feels like bone and I feel like I’m gonna go insane. Such a drastic difference in a matter of two days. And I’m only 2 weeks post op.
I have my right nostril open for the 1st time since the late 2000s from playing contact sports in rugby 🏉 union & fighting at boxing + a few into 2nd week recovery but back to work week 3 on light duties (although in commercial construction there isn't much light duties) until end Jan 2023 but hopefully can get back to building tasks and some better upgrading myself with education and fitness again to be a best version i can be
Guys I have gone through a rhinoplasty 1 month ago, my face is still swollen and what bothers me is that I laugh too much daily and I feel pressure on my nose. Is it safe to keep laughing or I should stop doing it. Please help me, any advice will be appreciated!
I just had septoplasty turb reduction nasal valve repair surgery 1 month ago. I now hav a collapsed nasal valve .how long b4 it can be fixed. How long should i wait for revision surgery. Im having major problems breathing correctly. And really need it fixed now
I was told by my doctor not to tape my nose… i have very thick skin. I am middle eastern but he said he doesn’t find it necessary and can mess with my skin so he advised me to leave it and let the swelling go down on its own. Im curious has anyone has not taped their nose? I got mine done in the USA as well and i feel like tapping is common in the middle east
I'm 6 months post op and I still tape every night and leave it on whilst I sleep. When I wake up my nose looks much nicer, it's more slim. It stays like this for maybe a few hours. My question - Is the appearance of my nose after I remove the tape a sign of what my nose will look like when it is fully healed?
It seems most professionals have said, the appearance of my nose after taping is a good indication of what it will look like when all swelling is subsided. I am 10.5 months post surgery and still have a swollen supratip due to having very thick skin. My surgeon has said, if my skin hasn't yet 'molded' to the new nasal skeleton I can consider steroid injection in the nose but to be very careful of side effects.
@@Letgoodthingshappeninmylifenow Absolutely! It's just the left side that is more swollen and still has a piggy look because of the bump scars inside. I'm hoping that subsides in the next 6 months for a total of 2.5 years for the left. The right healed by year 1 or less
@@lilalilalila5077 If it is about alternative medicine, I would like to say that; While researching my rhinoplasty, I stumbled upon an article on the internet that said a woman put a leech in her nose to heal the scar tissue in her rhinoplasty. The woman said that she healed her deteriorated nasal tissue with leeches. What I know about leeches is that they secrete enzymes with a lot of tooth-like structures in their mouths. I feel like it may have helped the excess scar tissue heal and disappear. But as far as I know, it can cause swelling in the first days when the leech is attached. I'm questioning whether it will work in hijama in this situation.Thank you for your reply take care, I hope the swelling in your nose will go away permanently as soon as possible without the need for anything. 🧡🩷🩵
I'm 7 months after open rhinoplasty and my tip is huge, will it shrink yet? Cause it's really bugging me...also when i try to laugh it looks like my nose is pointing a bit down with that huge tip...
@@ΔήμητραΤ98 Just a bit, it was a difficult surgery and although not perfect it's faaar better looking than before, like can't be compared. The tip is a bit big but i can live with it.
This is the same thing I’m experiencing. My tip is big and when I laugh my nose points down and it’s still wide. At 5 months. There’s a bump on the bridge side of my nose also . I do not like my results so far. Already considering a revision that I don’t have the money for. So annoyed.
@@darkmessiah9566 I totally respect your opinion, but sometimes we just know our busy and we can tell when the shape of our nose is just not right. If the injections don’t work, I’ll need a revision.
I had my rhinoplasty done yesterday. No swelling for me yet. I had an ice pack done regularly. Drinking pineapple juice. Let’s see if it gets swollen 3 days post op. Hopefully not.

Hey I'm one year post op, the tip of my nose looks a little swollen lately and looks kinda pointy and sharp. Is this normal or my nose is dropping badly? ( I had this terrible cold, my nose was super runny and stuffy, could this be the reason). Please I'm freaking out, i look like pinocchio
Yesterday was 14 th day after my nose job and my cast was took off. I was almost shocked when I saw the result. Because the tip of my nose was very long and a bit small. Especially when viewed from the side, the tip of my nose is long and pointed. It seemed to me that my nose was sticking out too much of my face. The shape of my nose became like a triangle. Because it was thin in width and long in height. In addition, the tip of my nose was slightly to the left. The worst part is the slight drooping in the middle part of the bridge of my nose. And the bridge seemed a bit lower than normal. I hated my nose and couldn't take this 😭😭 Please write comments if anyone has experienced this. Is it normal? Does it change as time passes? I really need advice!
If you don't alter the tip at all, does this all still apply? I really like my tip, I don't want it to change at all. A bit of swelling, I can understand, cuz it's at the bottom, it makes sense that fluid would drain into it
I’ve reached almost 6 months post surgery but my tip is still so round and i have one side of my nose that is un even and this is driving me crazy Is this normal ?
After my cast removal my nose looked great. Even 5 weeks post op it looked great. Now 6 months post op my nose looks the same as prior to the surgery. Have you had any improvement?
@@JayAnn-t8wHey I’m sorry to hear that, my nose is better but i think i need a revision cuz i have a bad shadow on one side and on the other side i have my nose more crafted on the tip
I'm two month's five day's from healing from the rhinoplasty surgery and i was wondering if it's normal to feel chills?? I also notice it's a little swollen inside my nose and feel like i always have oil outside, not sure if that's all part of the healing??
Today it’s been 28 days since I had a rhinoplasty in Miami Florida. All I wanted to do was lower my dorsal hump because my nose was originally small. The doctor said he was gonna lift the tip more than anything because my nose was droopy and that was making me look like a had a dorsal hump. After the cast came off first thing I noticed was a very long and lifted tip and also very swollen. I immediately regretted putting myself in so much discomfort (specially day 1-2). Im at 4 weeks now the tip is slowly dropping and my nose is less swollen and some days I feel happy and some day I feel miserable about it. I feel very strange and it’s hard accepting the new face. Yes when I take pictures I do feel a bit more elegant I guess but I feel like I look more matured and I can’t help to miss my old nose and the old me. Also I still have a black eye and it’s been 4 weeks does anyone has that problem?
@@sabrinaannicole yes, it dropped much. And i think it will dropp more by time, because the tip is most swollen area and it needs the most time to heal. You don’t have to worry, i know now it’s normal. Your nose looks absolutely nothing like it looks after 3 month. I’m now at the 3 month mark and it changed very much. In the beginning it looked very short and upturned. That’s really everything only because of swelling. Is that picture of you now? Because your nose looks very beautiful in this picture.
I feel like you’re me! My black eyes disappeared around 4wks. But yes sometimes I’m okay with my new nose and sometimes really get down about my new nose. I’ll be 6months post op here in a few days. I’m self-conscious now about my nose before I was like could my nose be a little straighter(?) yes but I was at peace. I just wanted to fix breathing issues. 😞
@@DalilaS7 at Christmas I’m 6 months post op too. Don’t forget, it’s MINIMUM 12 months until completely healed . There’s still swelling going on in your face and nose… and it can be a little bit uneven. My nose isn’t completely straight so far too. And my tip is still swollen and now a little bit higher as i want it. But it dropped so much and I’m very positive now that in the end i will be happy. We have to wait another 6 months, there is going on so much change. Stay positive ☺️🙏
3 weeks post op and my nose looks very strange, one side is more swollen than the other so it looks crooked 🥴 *Update* I just had a revision rhinoplasty because it turns out that wasn’t all swelling. My nose turned out much larger than I had hoped for. Back to having a swollen potato nose again. Sucks.
I had surgery on ok/03/21 I'm feeling better . But sad my nose is crooked to I'm feeling sad One week after surgery my Dr toke of the cast he didn't put anything on my nose 👃 no tape I ask him but he said it's not 🚫 necessary. I don't know and I call he to tell what is happening to my nose 👃 he said it's till Early for the final result
3 week after rhinoplasty, i had difficult surgery over 4-5 hours . Now my nose is super thick and large . I am super worried if it’s all swelling and if if’s going to decrease to this stage so it’ll look at least a bit like the nose i wanted . If someone already passed from this please let me know about your results ..
Took me 2 years for my new nose to stop being potato - like swollen and me to stop disliking it. Nose jobs results takes for absolutely ever to download , just stop thinking about it, give up and live your life until one evening you notice it’s actually starting to look ok
I have love and hate rs with 3 weeks post rhinoplasty, is it normal ? Sometime I feel like the bridge and tip are not as high as before, but sometime I love the result and I think it’s perfect height for the nose bridge n tip.
Iam 5 months post op and I have e problem breathing it blocks depending on the day maybe my the valves collapsed he wants me to ha e a computerized ct scan the tip is swallen around the tip of the noze I cried I had a septoplasty rhinoplasty combined

I reach my one year mark in one month and let me tell you, it still is changing!!!!! The final outcome takes time! Even affer a year, my nose still feels a bit sensitive. It is still slightly swollen on my right side as well as my tip. Trust the process!!!!
Thank you
how does it look now do you love it?? im 3 weeks post revision op and omg my tip is slightly going to the left. when I raise my head you can see the tip going to the left as well as the mid bone called the septum I guess.. my surgeon keeps saying to keep massaging it and hold the tip to the right and it might get better, but im so scared of this un even ness. pls advice!
I read the tip can take up to 3yrs for some
Sorry to tell you that it is not one year game. Swelling can fluctuate after 2- 3 years also. So consult to your doctor about this matter because you hadpaid for a good result not for a swollen nose. Also reply what your doctor said to you.

@@waqaskhan-ux2jg im not happy with the surgery
This is the video that has answered all my question. I am 3 weeks post op and I feel like the tip of my nose is too lifted and very round and swollen. This video has given me piece of mind... and though I know it's a long road in regards to the healing process, sometimes you just need to hear it again.
Hello, has your lifted tip (upturned nose) come back down? Can you please let me know how long to expect it to take before it comes back down post rhino?
how you,re feeling now
I would love to know about your upturned tip result , has it come down? More defined ? I’m in the same boat and so nervous
Sorry to tell you that it is not one year game. Swelling can fluctuate after 2- 3 years also. So consult to your doctor about this matter because you hadpaid for a good result not for a swollen nose. Also reply what your doctor said to you.
please tell me about your tip ? my nose tip is also lifted .How much time it take to regain its position
I'm 4 weeks post-open rhinoplasty { "true thick skin" } & this rings true for me. When the cast came off, my nose looked HUGE. It was a discoloured potato for the first few days, but with the help of tape, the swelling dramatically subsided within the week. Now 4 weeks in, it certainly feels & looks like 90% of the swelling has subsided. I know this still isn't the end result, but I am already getting a very good idea of how it's going to look, & my nose feels much, much stronger. If you have thick skin, you definitely want to tape & keep the tape on for as long as you can. Take daily walks,. Gently exfoliate. Sleep slightly upright.
I am now 4 weeks post op- How did your nose feel inside please?
Im 9 days after surgery, cast was removed yesterday and im in such a big shock… my nose became very very HUGE.. before surgery it was slim and not big… so its this thing swelling i guess?? Doctor said that it gonna take tike to see full result, but still i need information is it swelling or?? Im just hopping and praying now that after 3 weeks when i must back to work my nose not gonna be so HUGE 😢
@@_MNFST_ You're 9 days after a trauma to your nose. You're going to look back on this & laugh, because you should know that of course this is swelling. Nobody comes out of a rhinoplasty surgery without swelling - it's a natural response to injury. If you have thick skin as I do, you can expect ups & downs of swelling for at least a year. Of course, the swelling you're currently experiencing won't last & will go down over the next 3 months, but you will have some level of swelling up to at least a year. You will know, even if your nose doesn't visibly look swollen, if you pinch the tip & if feels "full"/solid/rock hard... that is swelling. Best thing you can do is drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol & excess salt, sleep upright & use tape.
@@dnersargaren8677 can i get your fb or insta i want to message you if i get more things in my mind to ask you :) also i want to show my nose before surgery and now how huge it is, to talk with you who had someting like this before :))) im just scared a lot and need information :)
I have 15th day. My nose is overly lifted upward will it be fine I am very worried😢
I’m on my 4th weeks (one month) Post Op and I’m glad I came across this video. It truly helped me, enlightened me, comforted me because I am so bothered. Your information Doc is a heavenly sent. You filled-in the lack of information from my surgeon 😩😢.
God Bless You more Doc Sykes. ❤
This doctor is a life saviour 🙏🏻, I had my rhinoplasty just before 17 days. My nose was very big (bigger than the size of my nose before surgery) when my doc removed my splint (on 11th day post surgery). I worried a lot and cried because I looked like a monster. I saw his videos and gained some confidence. Although my surgeon said everything will be alright, I couldn't believe it, because he didn't explain things the way how this man has explained. Now it's 17th day after my surgery my nose swelling reduced little bit ( but still looks bigger). But I got confidence it will be alright. I will share my experience here after few more days.
Yes please. In my case its 15th day.. And I am facing the same issue my nose is lifted upwards as well
Hello guys, it's my 25th day post surgery, my swelling has reduced little more at the bridge of my nose ( slightly reduced at the tip as well) but I still have the problem of uplifted big tip and worst than that is my tip is tilted towards right. My doctor said it'll become straight after swelling is gone.
Other problems I'm facing:
1. My upper lip dropped down a bit (I can't see my upper teeth when smile, my upper teeth were visible when I smile before surgery) and became stiff which is making my smile weird
2. Sunken eyes
I hope all my problems will be gone soon.
But one good thing is swelling is reduced a bit when I compare with swelling on my 17th day.
Plz can u sher ur nose swelling update 🥺 first week to abt 3 mnt plz
@@AniaGida I can understand what you are going through because I was worried too. As my doctor said "be patient" so I followed. Its almost a month to my rhinoplasty and my nose is getting better day by day. The swelling from eyes, and cheeks is completely disappeared but my nose is still a bit swelled, especially the tip. It might take 3 to 6 months as per the dr said.
@AniaGida 😂The thicker the skin, the more time it requires. You need patience injections 😄.. Well if you are worried you should concern your dr
Love this video. What changed my perspective about my swollen nose is what he said at 2:25-2:41 , 3:36-3:59 and 4:21-4:59. It's been 8 months since my combo rhino/septoplasty, and my tip still looks wider and more swollen than pre-surgery (my bridge, however, has completely healed and is thinner which is what I wanted). I have to be patient, breathe, and trust the healing process
Charismatic. He seems like a great plastic surgeon. Very informative. Thank you!
I’m 3wks post op and the swelling is literally killing me!!! Especially noticing my nostrils are asymmetrical, I know it’s common to heal at different rates I jus have high anxiety! I feel worse than I was!!
Oh God babe me too!!! Im depress because of it 😭
I’m 1 day post op and I’m freaking out lol. I have a looooooooong way to go
I'm 10 days post op and am having the same nostril anxiety!! the tip appears to be turned up to the right a bit more and it's making the one nostril feel a tag piggy ish. I also got my 'monthly friend' 2 days ago and was crying on and of the whole day, total catastrophe mode! It's aweful to feel like did I make the right decision??? This is my freaking face!! I hope your nose is healing better!
I am twelve days post op and my upturned nose is making me cringe 😔
Did your tip go down ?
I’m 2 days post op and im grateful this video popped up because after looking at my tip constantly, I’m disappointed that it still looks too big and clown 🤡 nose like and already I was contemplating revision. However, thankfully, this video has definitely assuaged my worries. Thanks Dr. !

I know it will never be AS flexible as before but i do hope this will further go down :) Overall I am satisfied so far, but it's a bit too long for my liking, not longer than pre op, but about the same, just without the hump 🤔🤔

Try at least one year after Rhinoplasty for the swelling to subside and even at that it might take even longer if your body swells up with water weight as a women. Always give yourself longer than you think for any kind of results to take place. I am on my second surgery and find it is taking me at least 18 months to start feeling normal each time.
My mental health is a wreck rn due to the swelling.
2 months post op.
Iam 12 month post op septoplasty rhinoplasty iam still swallen on the tip and I cannot breathe well it is congested I smoke and iam quiting I hope the swallen and the breathing will go better
On my 16th day of septorhinoplasty. It's a bit tough as the swelling from the tip and side of nose doesn't seem to be improving. But hoping for it to get better when I go back to the doctor after 1 month.
Heyyy do you mind sharing how’s your nose now! My tip looks like a ball not definition whatsoever - 1 month post op
I had a full rhinoplasty 10 days ago, and I had black eyes and swelling, which is normal the procedure i had. obviouslyi have a bit of bruising and swell8ng still, but Dr. Sycks is spot on with what he is saying in the video and to repeat a previous comment, it is reassuring to know how far this process needs to see the outcome 100%. it actually doesn't hurt as most people would think. I had exstenve work on mine as my nose was a complete disaster and it was only discomfort I had with the splins in there. I had four but they usually put two, that's how much work they did. Good luck to anyone looking for this op, I recommend it as I can now finally breath through my nose
I’m terrified of my septo and rhinoplasty coming up. I don’t know whether to expect pain or extreme discomfort. Seems like it varies depending person to person.
@utubeho24 no need to worry, it's more discomfort than things else. I had a full rhinoplasty because my nose was broken, right nasal passage was blocked, the other was deviated as well because of the break, and a deviated septum. the splints stung slightly as they were taken out but other than that, very minimal to no pain. but be patient with the results, mine has been 5 months and there is still healing to go through. just think of the result more than the operation, you'll be fine
@@julenjames thanks so much for this. I know every person varies in response to their pain and tolerance, I’m a wimp by far and the thought of not being able to breathe is giving me anxiety like no other. I’m hearing stories about ears blocked, no sleep and worse, none stop swelling to the point where vision is impacted (?) so I really appreciate you being direct and sharing your experience. They’ve given me both pain meds and Xanax in case I have an anxiety attack 😂 it is america after all… but don’t know which of the two poisons to pick. Ideally, anything that’ll help me pass out for the first three days which from my understanding are the worst of it right? Regardless, thank you so much, truly.
@utubeho24 you'll do fine, you're thinking too much and the Internet is full of stories which are overly exaggerated so people will feel sorry for them. I didn't take any pain killers after it 3 to 5 days as it wasn't worth it, and I looked very swollen but my operation was very intrusive and a lot of work needed to be done. if your nose is to remove a hump on the bridge and septum work, it's nothing trust me. what are you having done by the way?
@@julenjames thanks for this 👌🏼 will do my best to keep positive. I basically broke my nose in a severe car accident, when I went to check on it, my ENT who’s also a plastic surgeon said yup there’s a deviated septum and hump thanks to the impact. (Deviated from before of course), so septo-rhino is his recommendation. He’ll be fixing the septum, potentially removing some turbunite if there is any, and removing the dorsal hump and very slightly raising the tip. So I’m like ahhhhh what does this translate to pain and anxiety wise?
What my doctor recommended me for reducing swelling is using silicone gel sheets on my nose for a year, I use them when I'm indoors and when I sleep. I'm 4 months post-op and stopped using it for a week and damn my tip got rounded, big and swollen... not using them made me see the difference. What it does is compresses the tissues down and stops the swelling going up, it also prevents hypertrophic scars.
Thanks for this video... my surgery is set for wed and now I know that patience and time is the final measure
i hope evrything went well for you

Great advice and knowledge! You are an incredible doctor to help guide people who have had this procedure. Thank you so much for sharing!
No need to watch anymore videos, he’s so informative. Felt like a great lecture🙌🏽😊🤗
Very informative! You should also touch on the nerves, when the feeling will come back at the incision site (I’m 10 days post-op revision rhino, first time took weeks to gain back the feeling) and when you will have normal use of your upper lip again- movement (smiling, laughing, chewing etc)
This video also put me at ease as my one nostril or tip appears a bit higher on one side! It's only been 10 days, but anxiety happens immediately. 😐
How is it now?
It's been two months and a half since I had a nosejob. One nostril is more open than the other, the tip is still swollen and big, I stare myself in the mirror and then I feel a bit desperate and anxious, start wondering if something went wrong, if somehow I wasn't clear enough to the doctor how I wanted it to look... Then I search the internet for before and after pictures, I look up nose swelling, and the this goes on and on... My doctor said swelling goes down but not at the same rate for the whole nose, and that my nosetip will take longer especially since I am a man and have thick skin. It feels reassuring but then I fall back into this worry hole.
Don’t worry it’s just swollen it will get better with time . It’s been 10months since my surgery and my nose is sooo much smaller than how it was in my second month
@@hibacheh228 thanks for this 🙂 I'm at 3 months now and it's finally slowly starting to smaller. Let's see after a few more months.

Wow this is super accurate. I find myself staring in the mirror wondering if I wasn’t clear to the doctor or did I do something I wasn’t supposed to. I’m worried out of my mind and it’s only been 3 weeks haha. I’m sure we will come back to these comments a year from now and laugh this off.

I'm 5 days out. I can't wait to get the stent and dressings removed, holy crap. lol
Totally agree! I took arnica oral pills 1 week before surgery and only had bruises for 2 days it’s totally worth it. Also avoid your salt intake as much as possible this helped with my swelling to not get extremely bad.
Huh, I didn't use arnica and had 2-3 days of bruising too (from day 2 to day 5).... I think it's individual!
My bridge still hurts and there’s a sharp pain inside my nose each time a take a deep breath. 2 mos post op and I’ve been experiencing this sharp pain since 2wks after rhinoplasty. Is this normal? My surgeon said it’s normal but I’m still worried. Btw, I undergone osteotomy also. I am worried about this sharp pain each time I take a deep breath
what is the average cost please
So it's normal for it to seem like the dorsal hump that was removed "return" due to swelling? I'm only 9 days post op. Trying my best not to worry and trust the process.
I have exactly the same concern. I'm 9 days post op and still see a small bump... Did your go away?
@@eliflorespires2633 Hey! I'm 2 months and 2 weeks post op now. My nose is not as "perfect" as it was when the cast came off, but it's quite close to it. It's almost not noticeable from the side profile (its only cause I know what to look for), a little more noticeable from the 3/4 view but I can't complain. It's a huge improvement from what it was and I'm very happy with it. We will be the only ones as critical with our nose, no one else will notice the minor bump we see. I'm sure it will heal into a nose that you are happy with.
@@aakashchauhan2208 I'm not qualified to answer that, but I'd say don't stress about it! Much to early to determine anything but it will most likely resolve itself.
Oh god this is so me. I’m almost two weeks post op. I’ve seen my nose on the surgery table right after the surgery from pretty much all angles on the pics taken by the surgeon. It looked perfect. I requested a straight nose but mine looked almost curved. Removed the cast. It looked fantastic. Then suddenly I caught a cold/flu, woke up with a hump on my bridge, it now looks fucking wavy. I was so okay with non linear healing process when it comes to the swelling and the tip but NOT with THE MAIN thing I wanted to improve which was my dorsal hump. It also feels like bone and I feel like I’m gonna go insane. Such a drastic difference in a matter of two days. And I’m only 2 weeks post op.
I wish you were my surgeon, you seem so trusting
I have my right nostril open for the 1st time since the late 2000s from playing contact sports in rugby 🏉 union & fighting at boxing + a few into 2nd week recovery but back to work week 3 on light duties (although in commercial construction there isn't much light duties)

I felt that too. What I did was to cover my mouth to prevent laughing. I also did this face 😮 to prevent it. lol
I would try to stop moving face too much. A beautiful wonderful nurse once told me that "you only have one recovery time!"
When does breathing improve? I'm 2 weeks out, still very congested
try cleaning ur nostrils with q-tips and oxygenated water, you could have some dry crust that's making u congested
Same here both nostrils are clogged from the blood can only breath tru the mouth ill try to clean with Q tip AND oxygenated water
Use Saline Nasal Spray. I almost 3 months and still use Saline nasal spray to my nostrill after surgery 01 Sep 2022. Still uncomfortable a little bit.
@Dori Boy I had to receive another surgery, still cant breathe. I'm hoping it improves when my nostril isn't numb anymore
I just had septoplasty turb reduction nasal valve repair surgery 1 month ago. I now hav a collapsed nasal valve .how long b4 it can be fixed. How long should i wait for revision surgery. Im having major problems breathing correctly. And really need it fixed now
I was told by my doctor not to tape my nose… i have very thick skin. I am middle eastern but he said he doesn’t find it necessary and can mess with my skin so he advised me to leave it and let the swelling go down on its own. Im curious has anyone has not taped their nose? I got mine done in the USA as well and i feel like tapping is common in the middle east
I'm 6 months post op and I still tape every night and leave it on whilst I sleep. When I wake up my nose looks much nicer, it's more slim. It stays like this for maybe a few hours.
My question - Is the appearance of my nose after I remove the tape a sign of what my nose will look like when it is fully healed?
I have the same question lol
What was your final result?!
It seems most professionals have said, the appearance of my nose after taping is a good indication of what it will look like when all swelling is subsided. I am 10.5 months post surgery and still have a swollen supratip due to having very thick skin. My surgeon has said, if my skin hasn't yet 'molded' to the new nasal skeleton I can consider steroid injection in the nose but to be very careful of side effects.
Just to add - my surgeon's opinion (when I asked him recently) is that the taping this late after surgery has very minimal effect.
Fantastic video
I'm in for 2 years, and the left side is still swollen with scars inside. Is this normal? Can it take more than 2 years?
May I ask, is your nose thinner and less swollen in the 2nd year than it was in the 6th month?
@@Letgoodthingshappeninmylifenow Absolutely! It's just the left side that is more swollen and still has a piggy look because of the bump scars inside. I'm hoping that subsides in the next 6 months for a total of 2.5 years for the left. The right healed by year 1 or less
@@lilalilalila5077 If it is about alternative medicine, I would like to say that; While researching my rhinoplasty, I stumbled upon an article on the internet that said a woman put a leech in her nose to heal the scar tissue in her rhinoplasty. The woman said that she healed her deteriorated nasal tissue with leeches. What I know about leeches is that they secrete enzymes with a lot of tooth-like structures in their mouths. I feel like it may have helped the excess scar tissue heal and disappear. But as far as I know, it can cause swelling in the first days when the leech is attached. I'm questioning whether it will work in hijama in this situation.Thank you for your reply take care, I hope the swelling in your nose will go away permanently as soon as possible without the need for anything. 🧡🩷🩵
Girl, I am 1 year post op,same here!
@@melilly85 I'm told the tip goes back to normal at 3-5 years so there is hope 😁 Every day is better for us but it doesn't show yet.
This video was so good and hit all the key points
I'm 7 months after open rhinoplasty and my tip is huge, will it shrink yet? Cause it's really bugging me...also when i try to laugh it looks like my nose is pointing a bit down with that huge tip...
@@ΔήμητραΤ98 Just a bit, it was a difficult surgery and although not perfect it's faaar better looking than before, like can't be compared. The tip is a bit big but i can live with it.
This is the same thing I’m experiencing. My tip is big and when I laugh my nose points down and it’s still wide. At 5 months. There’s a bump on the bridge side of my nose also . I do not like my results so far. Already considering a revision that I don’t have the money for. So annoyed.
@@sevenethandaspen7750 If it's only 5 months, i suggest you to wait a full year, then you'll see if you want a revision surgery...
@@darkmessiah9566 I totally respect your opinion, but sometimes we just know our busy and we can tell when the shape of our nose is just not right. If the injections don’t work, I’ll need a revision.
@@sevenethandaspen7750 I'm just saying it's a bit too soon but i hope it gets better for you!
I had my rhinoplasty done yesterday. No swelling for me yet. I had an ice pack done regularly. Drinking pineapple juice. Let’s see if it gets swollen 3 days post op. Hopefully not.
How are you doing today? I got my cast off today & I’ve been crying all day bevause i feel so weird. This video helps
@@321caseygarcia i got my cast off yesterday and i've been non stop crying. my nose is huge. bigger than before.. i have school in less than a month. help!!
@@sophierose8429 cover it with the tape you’re supposed to wear for a month after surgery!! It’ll honestly go down TRUST ME!!
@@sophierose8429 mine started to change after a few weeks, it’s not gonna stay like that believe me! I was so depressed & scared but it’s just swollen! It’s not your final look!!
@@321caseygarcia they didn't give me any tape.. when i asked he said his practice doesn't do that!
Thank You so much, Sir! You are very helpful in giving me this information!
Hey I'm one year post op, the tip of my nose looks a little swollen lately and looks kinda pointy and sharp. Is this normal or my nose is dropping badly? ( I had this terrible cold, my nose was super runny and stuffy, could this be the reason). Please I'm freaking out, i look like pinocchio
Yesterday was 14 th day after my nose job and my cast was took off. I was almost shocked when I saw the result. Because the tip of my nose was very long and a bit small. Especially when viewed from the side, the tip of my nose is long and pointed. It seemed to me that my nose was sticking out too much of my face. The shape of my nose became like a triangle. Because it was thin in width and long in height. In addition, the tip of my nose was slightly to the left. The worst part is the slight drooping in the middle part of the bridge of my nose. And the bridge seemed a bit lower than normal. I hated my nose and couldn't take this 😭😭
Please write comments if anyone has experienced this. Is it normal? Does it change as time passes? I really need advice!
any updates??
If you don't alter the tip at all, does this all still apply? I really like my tip, I don't want it to change at all. A bit of swelling, I can understand, cuz it's at the bottom, it makes sense that fluid would drain into it
Dear Doc, what do you think about filler for the low bridge nose?
Thank you so much for this video. I needed to hear this so bad.
Clear explanation sir🥰🥰❤🙏🙏
I’ve reached almost 6 months post surgery but my tip is still so round and i have one side of my nose that is un even and this is driving me crazy
Is this normal ?
After my cast removal my nose looked great. Even 5 weeks post op it looked great. Now 6 months post op my nose looks the same as prior to the surgery. Have you had any improvement?
@@Toetagman my nose is better but the tip still swelling and i think i need to do a small operation to fix that💔
Hi it’s ok now ? Because I got same problem 🥹 I got revision rhinoplasty but my nose now is uneven
I’m currently dealing with the same thing my nose just kinda looks swollen especially at the tip
@@JayAnn-t8wHey I’m sorry to hear that, my nose is better but i think i need a revision cuz i have a bad shadow on one side and on the other side i have my nose more crafted on the tip
Informative video...thank you doctor you are incredible...🌹🙏
I'm two month's five day's from healing from the rhinoplasty surgery and i was wondering if it's normal to feel chills?? I also notice it's a little swollen inside my nose and feel like i always have oil outside, not sure if that's all part of the healing??
I had my rhinoplasty with him at age 15. Still looks good 👌🏼 Lol 😆
How old are you now? And does it still look exactly the same??
Your amazing!!!! You always remind me how crazy I'm being. I appreciate your video. Thank you!
Today it’s been 28 days since I had a rhinoplasty in Miami Florida. All I wanted to do was lower my dorsal hump because my nose was originally small. The doctor said he was gonna lift the tip more than anything because my nose was droopy and that was making me look like a had a dorsal hump. After the cast came off first thing I noticed was a very long and lifted tip and also very swollen. I immediately regretted putting myself in so much discomfort (specially day 1-2). Im at 4 weeks now the tip is slowly dropping and my nose is less swollen and some days I feel happy and some day I feel miserable about it. I feel very strange and it’s hard accepting the new face. Yes when I take pictures I do feel a bit more elegant I guess but I feel like I look more matured and I can’t help to miss my old nose and the old me. Also I still have a black eye and it’s been 4 weeks does anyone has that problem?
How is it now? Has your nose tip dropped more?
Im almost 2 weeks post op and i look piggy 😢
@@littlelight5080 did you tip go down? I’m barely two weeks post opp and I’m so nervous my tip is too high and I’m hoping it’ll drop a bit
@@sabrinaannicole yes, it dropped much. And i think it will dropp more by time, because the tip is most swollen area and it needs the most time to heal.
You don’t have to worry, i know now it’s normal. Your nose looks absolutely nothing like it looks after 3 month.
I’m now at the 3 month mark and it changed very much. In the beginning it looked very short and upturned. That’s really everything only because of swelling.
Is that picture of you now?
Because your nose looks very beautiful in this picture.
I feel like you’re me! My black eyes disappeared around 4wks. But yes sometimes I’m okay with my new nose and sometimes really get down about my new nose. I’ll be 6months post op here in a few days. I’m self-conscious now about my nose before I was like could my nose be a little straighter(?) yes but I was at peace. I just wanted to fix breathing issues. 😞
@@DalilaS7 at Christmas I’m 6 months post op too.
Don’t forget, it’s MINIMUM 12 months until completely healed . There’s still swelling going on in your face and nose… and it can be a little bit uneven.
My nose isn’t completely straight so far too. And my tip is still swollen and now a little bit higher as i want it. But it dropped so much and I’m very positive now that in the end i will be happy. We have to wait another 6 months, there is going on so much change. Stay positive ☺️🙏
very informative and clear. Thank you!
3 weeks post op and my nose looks very strange, one side is more swollen than the other so it looks crooked 🥴
*Update*
I just had a revision rhinoplasty because it turns out that wasn’t all swelling. My nose turned out much larger than I had hoped for. Back to having a swollen potato nose again. Sucks.
You might consultant your doctor about " 5-Fluorouracil in combination with a little bit of Kenalog"
Mine too 😣 at first u thought doc has not done it correctly
Me too, my op was two months ago
@@idkidc9200 i wish you fast recovery dude
I had surgery on ok/03/21 I'm feeling better . But sad my nose is crooked to I'm feeling sad
One week after surgery my Dr toke of the cast he didn't put anything on my nose 👃 no tape I ask him but he said it's not 🚫 necessary. I don't know and I call he to tell what is happening to my nose 👃 he said it's till Early for the final result
3 months and still paining on my nose especially radix and nose tip... Any suggestions
3 week after rhinoplasty, i had difficult surgery over 4-5 hours . Now my nose is super thick and large . I am super worried if it’s all swelling and if if’s going to decrease to this stage so it’ll look at least a bit like the nose i wanted . If someone already passed from this please let me know about your results ..
Howx it now? Im 2 week pt rhinoplasty
Took me 2 years for my new nose to stop being potato - like swollen and me to stop disliking it. Nose jobs results takes for absolutely ever to download , just stop thinking about it, give up and live your life until one evening you notice it’s actually starting to look ok
@@asmaabeluccii5725 how did it go?
8 weeks post op and my nostrils seemed to be pinched. Is this normal?
I have love and hate rs with 3 weeks post rhinoplasty, is it normal ? Sometime I feel like the bridge and tip are not as high as before, but sometime I love the result and I think it’s perfect height for the nose bridge n tip.
I didn't have rhinoplasty, but I got septoplasty. That swelling is no joke. I'm 2 weeks post op.
were you having any problem in breathing due to the same?
Iam 5 months post op and I have e problem breathing it blocks depending on the day maybe my the valves collapsed he wants me to ha e a computerized ct scan the tip is swallen around the tip of the noze I cried I had a septoplasty rhinoplasty combined
