I'm at this point now while being two weeks post-op. It's so hard to look at the nose from the front because of the swelling. I'm documenting all the changes that are still yet to come.
This was incredibly helpful to see the swelling process. I had my nose done last week and was not prepared for the “pig snout” look. Thank you for posting such a thoughtful and informative video!
V Keithly you’re very welcome! People prepare themselves as much as possible for the day of surgery, but what they don’t understand is the healing process after the surgery can actually be much more challenging! Good luck & thank you for watching!
Don’t worry! I was in full panic mode for the first week!! My nose was so swollen and turned up. It looked impossible to me that it would improve dramatically enough that’d I’d like it. I’m 3 months out and I love it. Just breathe through it and wait it out...I’m sure you’ll feel dramatically different about it in a couple months. Hang in there!
V Keithly me too im in my 7 weeks and its so depressing because whenever i see my photos before. I have this thought of regrets. I had tip plasty only (open) now my tip is round. Not sharp. Sigh
Dear Doctor Nayak and Erin. I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to both of you for doing the healing timeline video and picture series. I had a surgery by another surgeon and had my cast removed yesterday. I was not prepared to see the early outcome. I am so distraught over how upturned and fat my nose is. This page and the video have been the ONLY detailed visual sources of comfort I was able to find online on the healing/de-swelling timeline. Thank you for drying my tears!! This video is so valuable for people like me who are in utter shock over the week 1 look when the cast comes off. I cannot thank you enough. Sincerely, Oz
Hello Amelya, I am sorry it took me this long to reply. I do not check my TH-cam account much. I look SO much better. I still have some swelling and numbness on my right side but my nose looks a ton better. I am actually starting to enjoy looking at it now. And now I fully believe that once the swelling is completely gone, which it will be, I am going to be 100% happy with it. I wish the same for you! Just be patient. Some days due to the heat I still see that my nose is more swollen than the day before but then it goes back to normal.
I'm going through the same depression. I'm 5 weeks post-op and I feel my nose hardly looks any different than before the surgery. How long until you started to see your nose shrink? Thank you!
Dany Carbs Hi! It’s been about 13 months since my surgery and I can say that it has changed quite a bit since my surgery. While it is a small improvement, I think my surgeon was just a bit conservative, which I suppose is better than being overly ambitious. :) I’m considering a revision to shave it down just slightly and to refine the tip a bit. The tip of my nose actually looks more bulbous now than it did before, which is a bit frustrating. Overall, I’m happy I did it and I definitely don’t regret it, just wish for $20,000 I had gotten what I wanted the first time. Good luck! It will definitely change quite a bit from now until about a year, so as they all say; be patient. :))
This video has given me so much relief I almost feel like crying!! I just got my splint off today and my nose feels too fat and up, so worried my tip won't fall!
+Kirsty Mc Laughlin I'm so glad it has helped!! I felt like my tip was kind of upturned for about a month. My surgery was on June 30th, 2015 so I'm almost 10 months out now and I can't tell you how much it continues to improve! Once I got to about a month a thought my nose looked AMAZING and now I love it even more! Even now I continue to notice positive changes and improvements as my swelling continues to decrease. More of those secondary changes, subtle feminine creases around the tip, my adorable supra tip break- those subtle but beautiful changes continue to become more apparent all the time! I can't wait for you to see your end results, I'm sure you will look GORGEOUS!😘- Erin R
Omg same here...im 8days post op and I look so hideous have a pig nose and look like avatar from my bridge..i wanted to,cry and felt depressed...now after seeing this video I feel such a huge relief..i hope swelling keeps drastically going down
I'm one week post op with the typical "pig" nose and this, along with the comments from others who were in my position, has made me feel so much better!
@@okre8793 Hi 👋..I’ve remove the cast today And thr shape and all is great but The tip is too high And a from the sideview it looks so high..will it be going down..??Please reply
pig nose is ok after surgery, it will drop after few months, the problem is when you have a dropping tip right a after the surgery that would mean it wasn't successful
Thanks !! I was looking for this exactly ! I just got my rhinoplasty 11 days ago and they took my cast off yesterday, and even though I knew my nose would look swollen and weird, I really have this strong piggy feeling and I hate my face from the front at the moment... Thankfully most people seem to think the same so that's reassuring, but most of the time when you watch videos about rhinoplasties, people make the video a year after or 3-6 months after, so they're all happy and no one says anything about the first few weeks when they hate their face hahah It's nice here to see the real evolution because I'm really not used to having my nose up and from the pictures you've shown her nose really looks amazing and different now !
@@ange9714 hey, the feeling definitely doesn't stay that way! I'm glad with my nose now, it isn't perfect, because you never know exactly how it's going to turn out, but it still so much better than before! The only weird thing for me now is when I see old pictures when I felt pretty, because I didn't mind my nose from the front (from the side I had a bump and my nose was a tiny bit long), so I kind of liked it better before because well... it was my face for 24 years! But I'm sure people need a while to completely get used to it. From the side I love it, I don't have any issues with people taking pictures from my left side anymore 👏🏼 I'd say I needed about a month/6 weeks to really get used to it and not feel awful anymore. And it's funny because when I see pictures from the first few days it doesn't look as bad or as different now, but at the same time it does haha I can see for sure on some pictures that it was swollen and a bit up, but I really felt ugly af, and now I'm like: well it's actually not that different, my nose looked pretty much like it is now. I think it's just your brain that needs to get used to it, and it'll be ok!
@@wOwmOusse Hey..Does The Upturned nose getting down??Please reply..I have my cast remove today..Front view are great but the from Side view it’s to Up ..
@@JetLi-00I'm two weeks post op and freaking out bcoz my nose also look so upturned and short tell me about your recovery about nose drop does it drop ?
I just had my septorhinoplasty three days ago and this video really calmed me down. I was feeling panicky since day after seeing how upturned and wide my nose looked especially after having longer nose with a little hump it was such a huge change. My biggest fear was to wind up with a “piggish” nose but it already looks better than it did on day one and watching this just confirmed to me I need to be patient and not panic about that. Thank you!
I'm glad I found this. I'm a little over two weeks for my revision Septo/Rhinoplasty and I've been having periods of uncertainty and depression with how my nose looKs when it's so early. I can say that my nose was not an easy one to fix and no matter how it looks in 6 months, compared to my original nose, it should be ok. My surgeon had to use cadaver rib cartilidge because my first nosejon used everything they could. Sith thos surgery, I'm not getting that immediate astonishment that I did with the first which I was very happy with for many years, I had a very large nose that I severly injured as a child and it was extremely crooked. Since I do have very oily skin and somewhat thicker skin, sounds ike I need to stop over analyzing and obsessing at the mirror.
I had surgery 3 month ago after 3 months I feel little difference .u need to be patient it really took so long to see even little difference so take it easy guys
@@AlexaHolcombe how is your nose now? I'm about 5 weeks post op and my nose still doesn't look good. My profile still looks the same from before the surgery and its crooked :/
Had my septorhinoplasty 6 days ago and I get the cast off tomorrow dreading seeing this upturned tip! I’m just praying and believing that this is swelling 🙏🏻 thanks for the reassurance
Thanks for this! I’m going in 2 days for my procedure and these informational videos are so helpful in prepping emotionally, psychologically and physically. Appreciate you guys!
i had my surgery 11 days ago & the front view looks so fat & swollen. my cheeks are also puffy & it looks like i have a double chin lol :( this video helps me rest assured the swelling will definitely go down!
+Leondré I remember that portion of the healing process! There was a time when my swelling sank into my cheeks and jaw line - definitely resembled a chipmunk then! Hope you love your final results! - Erin R❤️
I just retired the band of my nose (2 weeks after). I was traumatized when I saw it, the tip is up and looks bigger. Thanks to this video I feel better hope my nose looks better after 3 months
Salomón Sarmiento hey! I just recently had rhinoplasty as well (12 days ago to be exact) but how is your nose looking now? Because my tip is up a little and is very swollen, thanks!
@@duprission3762 Hi! In my case, it has been a month and my tip is still a little up and swallen. I still don't like how it looks. I Really hope it goes down like the girl in the video. I gess the best option is to wait 3 months
Gosh I'm so glad I found this video! I just got my rhinoplasty 5 days ago so I'm in that nervous state terrified of my swollen tip but this video put me in so much ease.
I'm so happy to hear that uneven swallowing is normal 😣 on me one side looks way less swollen than the other side but it's probably because doctor didn't have to shave down the less swollen side..
i believe that the reason surgeons do the upturned/pig look because they are accounting for your nose dropping in a period of month. after my rhinoplasty my nose looked AMAZING as soon as the cast was removed. the tip was perfect. however one year later i am completely dissatisifed because my tip has now fallen and it looks droopy. i am starting to think the pig/upturned effect is deliberate now, because most good surgeons are aware that the tip will fall?? not sure if this is correct, but its how i see it. i think if you have a pig/upturned look it can most likely be fixed. if your nose tip looks just perfect after cast removal, i think there is much more cause for concern because it will drop :(. i now have to do a revision.
Yah obviously that's what happens, it's not a deliberate move to fool their patients! You should have consulted with your surgeon better as to what you really wanted, he could have done your nose pointing up higher, wouldn't have been a problem! And besides, how long has your surgery been because it takes at least a year to see a final result. If you are absolutely unsatisfied and want a revision make sure you communicate very clearly as to what you want, show picture and let the doctor edit your picture and show how it should look like on photoshop first
This is really really helpful! THANK YOU! I agree with other comments that this information is more hard to find, and I really appreciated the in-depth convo post surgery and especially post cast is off.
rhinoplasty process is crazy, I was so swollen a year ago! I thought it would never go down the swelling. Now it's super perfect. Still bigger since I'm a big guy, but it fits my face. I love it!
I had the same hump removed and I looked like Avatar when my splint came off lol, so wide. But by week 2 it was a lot better and after 2 months I was back to normal. By the time I had to go back to work nobody even noticed I had it done. If I had knew I would have done it years ago.
I went through the "Avatar" portion of the healing process as well! As long as you're able to laugh at yourself you can get through it! I'm so glad everything turned out so wonderfully for you! Thank you for your story! - Erin R👃🏻
TessaLoveTH I just got my splint off today and the first thing that I said was that I looked like an avatar!! Thank you for sharing this it really put my mind at ease
OMG YEAH i had mine 6 days ago and i look like avatar 😭 my front view is soooo wide at the top i hope it goes away fast cuz i don’t recognize myself in the mirror
I saw a woman online and her nose after 3.5 years looked incredible. So yes I feel it just keeps getting better over time. Thanks Doctor. People shouldn’t freak out at first. It’s always a shock to see a big change anyway. Just takes getting used it. 😊
You mean, does it look better in 3 years than it did in 1-2 years? I'm about to enter the 5th month and I feel that my nose looks worse than my old nose, it's like a nose that is thicker and not raised enough, a nose tip and contour line that looks thicker, and it doesn't look like I ever wanted when I smile, even the side walls of my nose look loose and wide.
I got it done ten days ago and today I took the cast off and I thought that I looked like a pig. I got so depressed until I watched this video it made me feel so much better. I have very fat oily skin so the doctor warned me that it would take a while to improve... I just needed reassurance 😁
I’m 3.5 months post-op and I’m feeling really disheartened, my main reason for having a rhinoplasty was an insecurity about my side profile. I can’t see a difference in size, neither can my close friends and family. I can’t imagine my profile becoming much smaller at this stage. I’m so upset
Hi🤍I had a nosejob in 2018, and the swelling never went down, Especially at the tip of the nose! So i actually had to have another nose job now, 2 weeks ago, and it’s allready much smaller than the first time. So sometimes you actually need a revision rhinoplasty🙉
Thanks for posting it! Watching videos present a perfect nose one week after surgery made me depressed. I hope everything is ok because I feel I have a very different face with a big piggy nose Everybody says patience.
I had a rhinoplasty 5 days ago and today my stitches and tape were taken off so I can see more of my nose...my tip still looks flat and bulbous which has been freaking me out but this video as assured me it's just the swelling..thank you!
You're very welcome! I'm so glad this has helped you! I always tell other prospective patients, this is the difficult part, this is the part where "patience is a virtue" comes very much in handy, this is the hardest part! Hang in there, and if you ever need to talk, feel free to reach out to us! We have plenty of compassionate people available to talk if need be. Congratulations! - Erin R.❤️
@NayakPlasticSurgery doctor so true wheb I had my surgery 3 weeks 2 days ago I freaked out when my cast went off my nose was that huge pig like I went in with no clue thinking is this my nose I didn't research I got scared depressed like in done for lol then I started watching videos and brought me more peace thanks for your advice
I had a secondary revision surgery. My skin is a little thicker and oilier. I want to make sure I get the best results since I wasn’t happy with the first surgery. I started taping my nose as that was recommended. Do you recommend taping the nose for better results? And for how long? I’m taping as often as possible.
Oh thank God lol. I got my septum repaired, and it was an extensive surgery but they assured me they didn't touch my long thin bridge or the tip, and right now I have piggy nose. Nice to see these changes are actually coming.
So much relief watching this. i am 2 weeks post op and feel like the tip of my nose is so big and up. it also looks like the bridge of my nose still has a slight bump when i mentioned i wanted a concave shape, but also looks like the bump on erin is visible the first few weeks and no longer visible 6+ months. i also have thick oily skin so it must take much longer for any of this to go down!! & honestly i felt minor depression the first week (which i read is normal after surgery especially when the swelling can take so much time ) but thank you for this video.
Nida Munir yes it is! i had a bulbous tip (wide/round) and was told since i have thick skin, it might not be able to go down or they wouldn't be able to tell me how long it'll take or if it'll even go down. i'm concerned. i'm going into 3 weeks post op.
Oh thank goodness guys! Mines been off two days and it’s very similar to this ladies nose cast off , my smile is wierd and my Tip is fat and snubby. Thank goodness there is such a difference in the first couple of months :)) thanks for the video!
I’m going through the same thing today cause I just had my cast removed. I cried because I think it looks weird and the tip is super round and bulbous. But this makes me feel a lot better. My nose looks like hers in the first pic
My surgery was on the morning of the 5th, it is now the night of the 8th. A little more than 72 hours in and the splint is super uncomfortable but not so much painful. I am SO EXCITED to get it off, not because I want to see what my nose looks like, just because I want my life to go back to normal😭.
2 days later, if I’m being honest, I haven’t slept much if at all any of these nights, maybe 3-4 hours. The splint still sucks and I’m still super excited to get it off
Got my internal splints out today, feels amazing. Getting that stitch out of my septum has really increased the mobility with my mouth and obviously breathing is MUCH better. Still have the cast on the outside and honestly not too mad about it, kind of feels like a shield.
@@lobbykeith5879 well, funny story. unfortunately that surgery didnt even fix my deviated septum. the doctor said it may have “shifted back” under the splint, but i dont think she did much to begin with. anyway, it looked the exact same and i still had restricted breathing. i had another surgery in the second week of december. this one was successful! not only does my nose look much better, im breathing much better. its still feels the slightest bit fragile but that comes with the healing process.
How about now? I really concern about my piggy nose it looks horrible. Im no 2 weeks. Im worry it dont will be better. Looks it better now on you after two months?
@@tupjj hey! It looks wayyy better now! The tip lowered and is no longer swollen. I don’t look like a piggy anymore lol. Don’t worry! Trust the process!
Thank you so much for this video bc it literally addressed all of my concerns! I had rhino five days ago. Concerned about irregular swelling in the tip, flared and uneven nostrils, and the tip being slightly "too up"/piggish from the front view.
you guys i did a rhinoplasty surgery before 1 week exactly, and like i was so excited to see the result since all the videos showed that it will be nice and cool. I was literally shocked it was bigger than before. Then, my bro was like hey it all will swell out and you will be fine after 1 month as the doctor said. IM REALLY DISAPPOINTED.
The same thing happened to me,i used to have a big nose before the surgery,now i have a bigger nose,its been 1 month and my nose is still swollen,im freaking out
Omg I just got my rhinoplasty four days ago and I’m so scared and nervous for the splint to come off. This video gave me more reassurance that it will be okay and what to expect. Thank you so much
This video is giving me some hope. I have thick skin and I'm 1 week and 4 days post op and my nose is massive. It's so big, wide, fat and swollen and looks so bad and fake. I really hope it gets better with time.
@@yaseminyakar5962 Hi🤍I had a nosejob in 2018, and the swelling never went down, Especially at the tip of the nose! So i actually had to have another nose job now, 2 weeks ago, and it’s allready much smaller than the first time. So sometimes you actually need a revision rhinoplasty🙉
@@lobbykeith5879 hi it still get better but indeed it's still swollen. I have thick skin. I read on reddit that it can takes 3 to 4 5 years to heal completely. My bridge was normal thick so that healed but comparing to my tip which is extreme thick skin it will take longer I think. Someday there is no swelling and at my period a lot or just a random day it swells very bad!
Got my cast off today. Yes. I felt a bit sad thinking it looks the same. Was hoping it would have a more distinct scooping effect. Will it possibly do that after swelling goes down?
+millerjky Yes- absolutely! Your nose is SO swollen at one week -you can barely see the true results at this time! We always tell our patients that when you get your splint off (1 week post-op) your nose will be too "fat" or wide all the way down the bridge and tip, and too "upturned" mostly due to swelling. These effects should be mostly gone by 1 month post-op. However, rhinoplasty procedures can take a year or more to heal before you can fully appreciate the final results! I know it can be difficult at times but you just have to be patient. It should all come together in the end! -Erin R💋
My nose looked shorter right after cast off. Opposite as big nose and huge swelling as the rest. I'm 1 month post op, swelling is there and tip still up. But I am worry that with time my nose will shrink and loose masculinity.
i had my cast removed 6 days ago and im getting my feelings mixed up. one time i look in the mirror and i think "oh i deffinitely see the difference and my nose looks better" but when i take pictures or start to analyze better i just see no changes. still see a bump, tip like a potato and one side ala is different than another. i just hope for now its just a swelling
I'm on my third week after my rhinoplasty and I've been worried because my nose looks fatter than what it was on week 1. Is it normal for it to look better right after they take the cast off? It was so pretty before and now the nostrils look uneven and more open and my columella got really hard as well.
Daniela N omg!! Same here! I had my nose done three weeks ago and I feel like it s looking worse everyday! How is your nose now? Are you satisfied with how it turned out?
@@ellielli6526 actually, it improved so much since January. My tip is still swollen, and my left nostril is more swollen than the other one, but I m starting to be more optimistic. I still massage it everyday
Thank you for this lovely video. I wonder if I could get some advice from any experts out there . I have just had a septorhinoplasty. Its actually the second operation I had on my nose. I had one when I was 20 and the surgeon made my nose way too dainty and shaved too much bone away to the point that I guess made it slightly feminine. I am now 50 and just had this second operation to fix my breathing since the first operation had caused the nasal passages to become too narrow over time and that affected my breathing. I just had my cast taken off today after 6 days and I am happy that my nose no longer looks so fake and feminine. However I am now worried that my nose looks pretty fat and bulbous , wide and piggy like. The surgeon did reassure me there is a lot of swelling and when it goes down I will be very happy with the result. Can I ask you guys does the nose change that much to go from being now chunky to like a normal width? Not too slim but not too wide?
Sorry for the late reply I just saw all the comments... my nose looks very natural just a little wide from the front, but it’s not pulled upwards and not swollen anymore( took about a year )
Thanks, great informative video! I have a question- I have thin skin, my surgeon performed a slight dorsal hump shaving, and I’m 2 weeks post op. As the swelling goes down I’m noticing what looks like a hump. Could this be swelling? My surgeon said taping wasn’t necessary. Thanks!
i didnt have a hump and after surgery i have one!! im so upset and crying about it all the time. did your hump increased in the meantime?? i hope you can answer me :(
sounds like it’s at least a month :/ I just got mine done yesterday and I have sorta thick skin.. even with a cast on i definitelyyyy can see that I have a piggy nose lool 🐷 these comments made me feel much better
Next week I am having a "functioning rhinoplasty" in Boston, using cadaver rib cartilage. I love the shape of my big nose and am now fearful that as tissues contract, I will end up having a turned up pig-nose. Please tell me this wont happen!!!!
I had my nose job done 5 months ago and I'm concerned! I have a veery thick skin and I had a big meaty tip. Now it looks a lot better! But because they took a lot of bone and a lot of meat from my tip...now my tip is sticking out in a round shape (not by much). Is that swelling that will go down in a year or am I living with this? P.S Thank you in advance :)
Hello & thank you for watching! Truly, we cannot give any sort of medical advice without actually seeing you. It is very likely and possible that you will have swelling up until the 12 month mark if not longer following surgery. It is nearly impossible without a physical exam to determine if what you are describing is swelling and/or if what you are experiencing is "normal". If you are concerned about it, my best advice is to return to your surgeon!
Hi. I had my surgery 7 months ago,my tip of the nose is fat ,big, I can't even take a photo of my self.I am so sad , I think that my nose will stay so fat forever,and I am afraid of doing another intervention . Do I have to hope that one day my nose will change the shape?? My doctor ,say that It will,he told me the same words 3 months ago,but nothing changed
Hi, I'm only one month in, but i'm expecting to have the fat tip for a long time as well. They all say it's the last to go down. You're still half way into recovery. If you have thick oily skin, not even half way. I get sad a lot too, my smile looks bad and i don't feel like myself. But it's important to try to stay positive. Hang in there!!!
I had a rhinoplasty but the middle area of the bridge is still swollen + my nostrills are uneven 8 weeks post surgery will it tend to even out? Because it makes one side go up more than the other
I had my surgery 11 days ago and my nostrils are uneven too, one is higher than the other. I'm hoping it is just swelling and will resolve with time. I have an appointment with my surgeon next week to confirm.
Yousif, we can't said for certain because we can't see you, but it does sound like swelling the will most likely even out. Swelling on one side of the nose more than another is very common.
Yousif Almusallam i feel the same way rn. my sister pointed out that one nostril seemed to be bigger and looked uneven. i am still concerned about this and worried it's going to stay like this :/
Why do you guys keep lying to people that it's not painful. It is painful. You have to stay on top of your meds. I just got my nose done. I thought maybe I wouldn't need to take the meds because all I hear 'its not painful ' surgery is painful. Stay on top of your meds y'all
You are totally right, I saw lots of videos all of them saying not painful it’s very easy after a month I am ok but in the fact all of those are not true, I had surgery 12 days ago I regret now , first u spent lots of your time to research and find a doctor then try to prepare yourself for that since u book the appointment, you have stress, anxious not sleeping hundreds of questions come in your mind, and the day of your surgery after that you feel and know why I did this shit thing with myself, one of the bad things is that, when the doctor tells you wait you can see the final result in 6 to 1 year or maybe more 🙄😟 I had a little droopy nose my breathing was ok and had narrowed nose just I didn’t like my sides profile because of that I made a big mistake, spent lots of money, time, pain, wait till one year to see the final result you are not sure u will get the result that you want or not Sorry about my English is not good If anyone reads my comment please first see the positive and negative of the surgery and think more than thousand is it a safe to do or not …
mitch lola absolutely! We perform a good number of male rhinoplasties actually. We are hoping to get a few more to share their results on social media!
Very helpful video. I'm 20 days post op.im worry just about my smile.upper lip is still hard and around hump area bit still swelling . Only waiting for reducing swelling and hard lip.
I’m so concerned I had dorsal graft built as my swelling going the graft is becoming more prominent I’m 8 . 5 weeks . It really obvious now hooe it flattens our but have feeling it will worsen as I have thick skin and will need a revisions
I got my third nose job done almost a year ago. My doctor told me I swelled up a lot on the operating table. It'll be a year next month, and the very tip of my nose is still rounded and swollen and fat. I'm so nervous that it will never ever go down. I've been getting steroid injections in my nose to break down the swelling but I'm just afraid it's going to look worse after.
In some cases, swelling can take even more than a year to completely dissipate, that isn't unusual; However, if it is something you're really concerned about you should talk to your surgeon.
i did nose job a month ago Swelling is going down well, But my nose tip is still fat and so hard I feel Like there is something they fix in my Nose tip Will you please tell me is this just a swollen or something they fix in it? Really sorry for my bad english Waiting for your earlier Response Thanks
Your experience sounds very normal. It can take quite a while for the tip to soften and for all of the swelling to subside. This is the most difficult part of the surgical process- patience is key!
I had my surgery 4 days ago and I just removed the bandage today. I still have the cast on so I can’t decide on the rest of it but I’m not at all happy with my tip. It looks very swollen and upturned, though you don’t see much of my nostrils from the front bc my surgeon has reduced them in size. They’re actually kind of too small for my taste now... I wonder if that’s due to the swelling as well. And also my left nostril is noticeably smaller than my right. My left side is overall more swollen so I’m hoping the asymmetrical nostrils will go away with time... and I hope the tip shrinks a bit as well! Loved the photos included. Really relieving. I hope mine ends up shrinking as much in a few months. Smaller tip, bigger more natural and even looking nostrils, that’s what I want right now!!
@Hana Louise Honestly all my problems resolved themselves over time as the swelling went down. My nostrils are now normal sized and symmetrical and the tip is also much smaller. It’s crazy how intensely swelling changes the shape of your nose
The day I came home from surgery with a cast on my nostrils looked even after three or four days my nostrils look uneven. They still look uneven after the cast came off. Is this normal?
finally swelling with pictures! why is it so hard to find these pictures in the internet, i`m sure a lot of people freak out looking for them
I'm at this point now while being two weeks post-op. It's so hard to look at the nose from the front because of the swelling. I'm documenting all the changes that are still yet to come.
IKR i can’t find them online. when MINE IS HEALED IM GONNA UPLOAD MINE DAY BY DAY FRONT VIEW OF THE SWELLING

This was incredibly helpful to see the swelling process. I had my nose done last week and was not prepared for the “pig snout” look. Thank you for posting such a thoughtful and informative video!

Omg same here. I'm 8days post op and so depressed how my nose looks..i was regretting it but this video has brought me sooo much relief
Don’t worry! I was in full panic mode for the first week!! My nose was so swollen and turned up. It looked impossible to me that it would improve dramatically enough that’d I’d like it.

V Keithly me too im in my 7 weeks and its so depressing because whenever i see my photos before. I have this thought of regrets. I had tip plasty only (open) now my tip is round. Not sharp. Sigh
Dear Doctor Nayak and Erin.
I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to both of you for doing the healing timeline video and picture series.
I had a surgery by another surgeon and had my cast removed yesterday. I was not prepared to see the early outcome. I am so distraught over how upturned and fat my nose is. This page and the video have been the ONLY detailed visual sources of comfort I was able to find online on the healing/de-swelling timeline.
Thank you for drying my tears!! This video is so valuable for people like me who are in utter shock over the week 1 look when the cast comes off. I cannot thank you enough.
Sincerely,
Oz
Hi, I'm having the same problem. How is your nose now that two months have passed?
Hello Amelya, I am sorry it took me this long to reply. I do not check my TH-cam account much. I look SO much better. I still have some swelling and numbness on my right side but my nose looks a ton better. I am actually starting to enjoy looking at it now. And now I fully believe that once the swelling is completely gone, which it will be, I am going to be 100% happy with it. I wish the same for you! Just be patient. Some days due to the heat I still see that my nose is more swollen than the day before but then it goes back to normal.
I'm going through the same depression. I'm 5 weeks post-op and I feel my nose hardly looks any different than before the surgery. How long until you started to see your nose shrink? Thank you!
@@AlexaHolcombe Hi, I hope ur nose improved! I'm barely 2 weeks post op!! Has the experience been what u expected!?
Dany Carbs Hi! It’s been about 13 months since my surgery and I can say that it has changed quite a bit since my surgery. While it is a small improvement, I think my surgeon was just a bit conservative, which I suppose is better than being overly ambitious. :) I’m considering a revision to shave it down just slightly and to refine the tip a bit. The tip of my nose actually looks more bulbous now than it did before, which is a bit frustrating. Overall, I’m happy I did it and I definitely don’t regret it, just wish for $20,000 I had gotten what I wanted the first time. Good luck! It will definitely change quite a bit from now until about a year, so as they all say; be patient. :))
This video has given me so much relief I almost feel like crying!! I just got my splint off today and my nose feels too fat and up, so worried my tip won't fall!
+Kirsty Mc Laughlin I'm so glad it has helped!! I felt like my tip was kind of upturned for about a month. My surgery was on June 30th, 2015 so I'm almost 10 months out now and I can't tell you how much it continues to improve! Once I got to about a month a thought my nose looked AMAZING and now I love it even more! Even now I continue to notice positive changes and improvements as my swelling continues to decrease. More of those secondary changes, subtle feminine creases around the tip, my adorable supra tip break- those subtle but beautiful changes continue to become more apparent all the time! I can't wait for you to see your end results, I'm sure you will look GORGEOUS!😘- Erin R
Kirsty Mc Loughlin mee too 😊
Had my surgery 5 days back. Im so depressed with the swelling
Kirsty Mc Loughlin i Hope now You are happy with the results:)
Omg same here...im 8days post op and I look so hideous have a pig nose and look like avatar from my bridge..i wanted to,cry and felt depressed...now after seeing this video I feel such a huge relief..i hope swelling keeps drastically going down
I'm one week post op with the typical "pig" nose and this, along with the comments from others who were in my position, has made me feel so much better!
did it drop? I'm 1 week post op too right now and I'm really worried that it will stay too upturned.
@@okre8793 Hi! It did drop, and my nose looks a lot cuter now. Just give it time, and drink a lot of water to help with swelling :)
@@okre8793 Hi 👋..I’ve remove the cast today And thr shape and all is great but The tip is too high And a from the sideview it looks so high..will it be going down..??Please reply
pig nose is ok after surgery, it will drop after few months, the problem is when you have a dropping tip right a after the surgery that would mean it wasn't successful
Thanks !! I was looking for this exactly ! I just got my rhinoplasty 11 days ago and they took my cast off yesterday, and even though I knew my nose would look swollen and weird, I really have this strong piggy feeling and I hate my face from the front at the moment... Thankfully most people seem to think the same so that's reassuring, but most of the time when you watch videos about rhinoplasties, people make the video a year after or 3-6 months after, so they're all happy and no one says anything about the first few weeks when they hate their face hahah It's nice here to see the real evolution because I'm really not used to having my nose up and from the pictures you've shown her nose really looks amazing and different now !
Hey! Any updates. What do you think about it now?
@@ange9714 hey, the feeling definitely doesn't stay that way! I'm glad with my nose now, it isn't perfect, because you never know exactly how it's going to turn out, but it still so much better than before!
The only weird thing for me now is when I see old pictures when I felt pretty, because I didn't mind my nose from the front (from the side I had a bump and my nose was a tiny bit long), so I kind of liked it better before because well... it was my face for 24 years! But I'm sure people need a while to completely get used to it. From the side I love it, I don't have any issues with people taking pictures from my left side anymore 👏🏼
I'd say I needed about a month/6 weeks to really get used to it and not feel awful anymore. And it's funny because when I see pictures from the first few days it doesn't look as bad or as different now, but at the same time it does haha I can see for sure on some pictures that it was swollen and a bit up, but I really felt ugly af, and now I'm like: well it's actually not that different, my nose looked pretty much like it is now. I think it's just your brain that needs to get used to it, and it'll be ok!

Ever notice how many plastic surgeons have noses with a lot of "character" ?
I like that and it speaks volumes 😊❤️👃🏼
Yes. So if you don't want rhinoplasty then don't do it. Personally I think larger and distinct noses are very attractive on men.
so helful... im in my first week and just got nervous of my big nose and swelling... this video made me feel comfort
I just had my septorhinoplasty three days ago and this video really calmed me down. I was feeling panicky since day after seeing how upturned and wide my nose looked especially after having longer nose with a little hump it was such a huge change. My biggest fear was to wind up with a “piggish” nose but it already looks better than it did on day one and watching this just confirmed to me I need to be patient and not panic about that. Thank you!
We are so glad this helped you!!!
Omg same! Day 8 for me and I'm finally feeling better but i was scared!

@@asyapetrosyan8824how's your swelling
Taping the nose makes a huge difference
This is THE most helpful and informative video I’ve seen so far about rhinoplasty! 👏🏼
We are so glad!!!
I'm glad I found this. I'm a little over two weeks for my revision Septo/Rhinoplasty and I've been having periods of uncertainty and depression with how my nose looKs when it's so early. I can say that my nose was not an easy one to fix and no matter how it looks in 6 months, compared to my original nose, it should be ok. My surgeon had to use cadaver rib cartilidge because my first nosejon used everything they could. Sith thos surgery, I'm not getting that immediate astonishment that I did with the first which I was very happy with for many years, I had a very large nose that I severly injured as a child and it was extremely crooked. Since I do have very oily skin and somewhat thicker skin, sounds ike I need to stop over analyzing and obsessing at the mirror.
How is your nose now?
I had surgery 3 month ago after 3 months I feel little difference .u need to be patient it really took so long to see even little difference so take it easy guys
Very true!
How is your nose now? I'm 5 weeks post and my nose hardly looks any different than before surgery.
@@AlexaHolcombe how is your nose now? I'm about 5 weeks post op and my nose still doesn't look good. My profile still looks the same from before the surgery and its crooked :/
@Magic Maker welcome to the club. just had 4th rhinoplasty. always go to the best possible doctor
@@MB-su4trwhy do you have the 4th one may i know the reason?
Had my septorhinoplasty 6 days ago and I get the cast off tomorrow dreading seeing this upturned tip! I’m just praying and believing that this is swelling 🙏🏻 thanks for the reassurance
How did you feel when it came off? How about now?
How about now Miss??
Thanks for this! I’m going in 2 days for my procedure and these informational videos are so helpful in prepping emotionally, psychologically and physically. Appreciate you guys!
i had my surgery 11 days ago & the front view looks so fat & swollen. my cheeks are also puffy & it looks like i have a double chin lol :( this video helps me rest assured the swelling will definitely go down!
+Leondré I remember that portion of the healing process! There was a time when my swelling sank into my cheeks and jaw line - definitely resembled a chipmunk then! Hope you love your final results! - Erin R❤️
+Leondré me too. It is soooo swollen :( it worries me
it will go down gradually I promise. just eat healthy foods & be patient. looking back at pics post surgery. i can't believe I looked that swollen
Leondré the swelling is up to my chin, and my eyes looks so small right now. is this really normal? i think its too much
yes it is normal. that's just the tissue healing itself.
I just retired the band of my nose (2 weeks after). I was traumatized when I saw it, the tip is up and looks bigger. Thanks to this video I feel better hope my nose looks better after 3 months

Rezhin Omar hi! I got my rhinoplasty 12 days ago today. My tip is EXTREMELY swollen, how is your nose doing now?
@@duprission3762 how’s the swelling going?
I'm so happy to hear that uneven swallowing is normal 😣 on me one side looks way less swollen than the other side but it's probably because doctor didn't have to shave down the less swollen side..
i believe that the reason surgeons do the upturned/pig look because they are accounting for your nose dropping in a period of month. after my rhinoplasty my nose looked AMAZING as soon as the cast was removed. the tip was perfect. however one year later i am completely dissatisifed because my tip has now fallen and it looks droopy. i am starting to think the pig/upturned effect is deliberate now, because most good surgeons are aware that the tip will fall?? not sure if this is correct, but its how i see it. i think if you have a pig/upturned look it can most likely be fixed. if your nose tip looks just perfect after cast removal, i think there is much more cause for concern because it will drop :(. i now have to do a revision.
Be careful. Not all surgeons work drops. So be careful not to ask for a too high of a nose cause it might not drop at all.
Yah obviously that's what happens, it's not a deliberate move to fool their patients! You should have consulted with your surgeon better as to what you really wanted, he could have done your nose pointing up higher, wouldn't have been a problem! And besides, how long has your surgery been because it takes at least a year to see a final result. If you are absolutely unsatisfied and want a revision make sure you communicate very clearly as to what you want, show picture and let the doctor edit your picture and show how it should look like on photoshop first
Her tip dropped so much from post op 2weeks to 1month omg.
This is really really helpful! THANK YOU! I agree with other comments that this information is more hard to find, and I really appreciated the in-depth convo post surgery and especially post cast is off.
rhinoplasty process is crazy, I was so swollen a year ago! I thought it would never go down the swelling. Now it's super perfect. Still bigger since I'm a big guy, but it fits my face. I love it!
I had the same hump removed and I looked like Avatar when my splint came off lol, so wide. But by week 2 it was a lot better and after 2 months I was back to normal. By the time I had to go back to work nobody even noticed I had it done. If I had knew I would have done it years ago.
I went through the "Avatar" portion of the healing process as well! As long as you're able to laugh at yourself you can get through it! I'm so glad everything turned out so wonderfully for you! Thank you for your story! - Erin R👃🏻

4 years later and still valuable info 👌
Thank god this video makes me assure it will go down cuz i was starting to freak out
Thankyou .
Super informative and helpful video. Helped out massively putting my anxiety at bay.
I saw a woman online and her nose after 3.5 years looked incredible. So yes I feel it just keeps getting better over time. Thanks Doctor. People shouldn’t freak out at first. It’s always a shock to see a big change anyway. Just takes getting used it. 😊
You mean, does it look better in 3 years than it did in 1-2 years? I'm about to enter the 5th month and I feel that my nose looks worse than my old nose, it's like a nose that is thicker and not raised enough, a nose tip and contour line that looks thicker, and it doesn't look like I ever wanted when I smile, even the side walls of my nose look loose and wide.

Thanks so much!!! Recently had rhinoplasty. This has made the future so more clear! Thank you for explaining everything!
I’m 3.5 months post-op and I’m feeling really disheartened, my main reason for having a rhinoplasty was an insecurity about my side profile. I can’t see a difference in size, neither can my close friends and family. I can’t imagine my profile becoming much smaller at this stage. I’m so upset
And now?
Amélie how are you now?
Hi🤍I had a nosejob in 2018, and the swelling never went down, Especially at the tip of the nose! So i actually had to have another nose job now, 2 weeks ago, and it’s allready much smaller than the first time. So sometimes you actually need a revision rhinoplasty🙉
Thank you a thousand times over for this video 🥺
Thanks for posting it! Watching videos present a perfect nose one week after surgery made me depressed. I hope everything is ok because I feel I have a very different face with a big piggy nose Everybody says patience.
I had a rhinoplasty 5 days ago and today my stitches and tape were taken off so I can see more of my nose...my tip still looks flat and bulbous which has been freaking me out but this video as assured me it's just the swelling..thank you!

I had a secondary revision surgery. My skin is a little thicker and oilier. I want to make sure I get the best results since I wasn’t happy with the first surgery. I started taping my nose as that was recommended. Do you recommend taping the nose for better results? And for how long? I’m taping as often as possible.
This was very helpful, i’m 1 week post op and freaking out about the swelling, i look like a lion.

Where did u do your surgery?i did mine in syria,i'm one month post now,and i'm feeling sooooo sad
I did mine in Turkey. I'm not 100% satisfied yet, that is why i'm giving myself a break from judging until 1 year.
How long will last that rhinoplasty surgery will last? Is it more than a year?
Oh thank God lol. I got my septum repaired, and it was an extensive surgery but they assured me they didn't touch my long thin bridge or the tip, and right now I have piggy nose. Nice to see these changes are actually coming.
So much relief watching this. i am 2 weeks post op and feel like the tip of my nose is so big and up. it also looks like the bridge of my nose still has a slight bump when i mentioned i wanted a concave shape, but also looks like the bump on erin is visible the first few weeks and no longer visible 6+ months. i also have thick oily skin so it must take much longer for any of this to go down!! & honestly i felt minor depression the first week (which i read is normal after surgery especially when the swelling can take so much time ) but thank you for this video.
Ali Vee how is your tip now? Stil up?
Nida Munir yes it is! i had a bulbous tip (wide/round) and was told since i have thick skin, it might not be able to go down or they wouldn't be able to tell me how long it'll take or if it'll even go down. i'm concerned. i'm going into 3 weeks post op.
I think things would be different after 4 weeks, as in pics nose is entirely different after one month span,
Nida Munir will that'll only depend on the type of skin? bc i do have very thick and oily skin.
Ali Vee yes right, hope for best :)
Do you recommend that your patients take collagen supplements post surgery?
Thank you so much for this video! I really hope my nose will already look a little bit better after the first month.
Oh thank goodness guys! Mines been off two days and it’s very similar to this ladies nose cast off , my smile is wierd and my Tip is fat and snubby. Thank goodness there is such a difference in the first couple of months :)) thanks for the video!
I’m going through the same thing today cause I just had my cast removed. I cried because I think it looks weird and the tip is super round and bulbous. But this makes me feel a lot better. My nose looks like hers in the first pic

What an amazing video with so much reassurance and great advice! Thank you for addressing all my concerns with it!
My surgery was on the morning of the 5th, it is now the night of the 8th. A little more than 72 hours in and the splint is super uncomfortable but not so much painful. I am SO EXCITED to get it off, not because I want to see what my nose looks like, just because I want my life to go back to normal😭.
2 days later, if I’m being honest, I haven’t slept much if at all any of these nights, maybe 3-4 hours. The splint still sucks and I’m still super excited to get it off
Got my internal splints out today, feels amazing. Getting that stitch out of my septum has really increased the mobility with my mouth and obviously breathing is MUCH better. Still have the cast on the outside and honestly not too mad about it, kind of feels like a shield.
@@zachsullivannhow is it now?
@@lobbykeith5879 well, funny story. unfortunately that surgery didnt even fix my deviated septum. the doctor said it may have “shifted back” under the splint, but i dont think she did much to begin with. anyway, it looked the exact same and i still had restricted breathing. i had another surgery in the second week of december. this one was successful! not only does my nose look much better, im breathing much better. its still feels the slightest bit fragile but that comes with the healing process.
I’m so relieved to know I’ll see my teeth again when I smile😂

@@lobbykeith5879 hi it still get better but indeed it's still swollen. I have thick skin. I read on reddit that it can takes 3 to 4 5 years to heal completely. My bridge was normal thick so that healed but comparing to my tip which is extreme thick skin it will take longer I think. Someday there is no swelling and at my period a lot or just a random day it swells very bad!
smile and swelling heals but be honest it is not after one week or one month!!
Best video out there for this! Excellent and very thorough! Thank you
Got my cast off today. Yes. I felt a bit sad thinking it looks the same. Was hoping it would have a more distinct scooping effect. Will it possibly do that after swelling goes down?
+millerjky Yes- absolutely! Your nose is SO swollen at one week -you can barely see the true results at this time! We always tell our patients that when you get your splint off (1 week post-op) your nose will be too "fat" or wide all the way down the bridge and tip, and too "upturned" mostly due to swelling. These effects should be mostly gone by 1 month post-op. However, rhinoplasty procedures can take a year or more to heal before you can fully appreciate the final results! I know it can be difficult at times but you just have to be patient. It should all come together in the end! -Erin R💋
Depends on whether the surgeon actually worked on that part to make it "scooped", but I know what you mean
My nose looked shorter right after cast off. Opposite as big nose and huge swelling as the rest. I'm 1 month post op, swelling is there and tip still up. But I am worry that with time my nose will shrink and loose masculinity.

@@user-ry7sz8ci4c update?
Thank you for this lovely video. I wonder if I could get some advice from any experts out there . I have just had a septorhinoplasty. Its actually the second operation I had on my nose. I had one when I was 20 and the surgeon made my nose way too dainty and shaved too much bone away to the point that I guess made it slightly feminine. I am now 50 and just had this second operation to fix my breathing since the first operation had caused the nasal passages to become too narrow over time and that affected my breathing. I just had my cast taken off today after 6 days and I am happy that my nose no longer looks so fake and feminine. However I am now worried that my nose looks pretty fat and bulbous , wide and piggy like. The surgeon did reassure me there is a lot of swelling and when it goes down I will be very happy with the result. Can I ask you guys does the nose change that much to go from being now chunky to like a normal width? Not too slim but not too wide?
My nose looks super short and swollen and it is like pulling my upper lip upwards... I got the cast off today
Should I be worried ? Please reply
Movies Together hey,how's your nose now?

Sorry for the late reply I just saw all the comments... my nose looks very natural just a little wide from the front, but it’s not pulled upwards and not swollen anymore( took about a year )
I did it and i am so worried , and feel my shape is not fine , But i think it will take time to go get back the normal shape .

Thanks, great informative video! I have a question- I have thin skin, my surgeon performed a slight dorsal hump shaving, and I’m 2 weeks post op. As the swelling goes down I’m noticing what looks like a hump. Could this be swelling? My surgeon said taping wasn’t necessary. Thanks!
How is it now ? I have the same issue
its been a month since my surgery however my under eyes feels like they are intinted and like inside is that normal
i did rhinoseptumplasty for a week ago, and I still have my hump! And I see no difference at all not even my big HUMP!!
i didnt have a hump and after surgery i have one!! im so upset and crying about it all the time.
did your hump increased in the meantime?? i hope you can answer me :(
Gilena Diaco did your bump go away? I have the same problem
Gilena Diaco Any news Gilena, about your bump? 🙈🙈😍😍
How is it now?
hi! why is the bump still there at 1 month?
How many months does the piggy look last for thicker skin??
sounds like it’s at least a month :/ I just got mine done yesterday and I have sorta thick skin.. even with a cast on i definitelyyyy can see that I have a piggy nose lool 🐷 these comments made me feel much better
@@remanalmusawi7919it's been two years how is your nose now? I'm three week post op and my nose looks like piggy and upturned
I'm 8 days post op and watching this. I had a revision, so the waiting game begins again..
Next week I am having a "functioning rhinoplasty" in Boston, using cadaver rib cartilage. I love the shape of my big nose and am now fearful that as tissues contract, I will end up having a turned up pig-nose. Please tell me this wont happen!!!!
I had my nose job done 5 months ago and I'm concerned! I have a veery thick skin and I had a big meaty tip. Now it looks a lot better! But because they took a lot of bone and a lot of meat from my tip...now my tip is sticking out in a round shape (not by much). Is that swelling that will go down in a year or am I living with this?
P.S Thank you in advance :)
Hello & thank you for watching! Truly, we cannot give any sort of medical advice without actually seeing you. It is very likely and possible that you will have swelling up until the 12 month mark if not longer following surgery. It is nearly impossible without a physical exam to determine if what you are describing is swelling and/or if what you are experiencing is "normal". If you are concerned about it, my best advice is to return to your surgeon!
How is your nose today ? Are you happy now ?
How is you nose now??
Thank you this video is so helpful.
Hi.
I had my surgery 7 months ago,my tip of the nose is fat ,big, I can't even take a photo of my self.I am so sad , I think that my nose will stay so fat forever,and I am afraid of doing another intervention .
Do I have to hope that one day my nose will change the shape??
My doctor ,say that It will,he told me the same words 3 months ago,but nothing changed
Hi, I'm only one month in, but i'm expecting to have the fat tip for a long time as well. They all say it's the last to go down. You're still half way into recovery. If you have thick oily skin, not even half way. I get sad a lot too, my smile looks bad and i don't feel like myself. But it's important to try to stay positive. Hang in there!!!
Such a BadDragon my smile looks bad and i am 2 months post op
E E, how’s your nose now?
@@andreeeanemtoiuhow’s your nose now ?
How’s your nose doing now?
I do my nose job only 11 days then how long should I use tape?
I had a rhinoplasty but the middle area of the bridge is still swollen + my nostrills are uneven 8 weeks post surgery will it tend to even out? Because it makes one side go up more than the other
I had my surgery 11 days ago and my nostrils are uneven too, one is higher than the other. I'm hoping it is just swelling and will resolve with time. I have an appointment with my surgeon next week to confirm.
Yousif, we can't said for certain because we can't see you, but it does sound like swelling the will most likely even out. Swelling on one side of the nose more than another is very common.
Yousif Almusallam i feel the same way rn. my sister pointed out that one nostril seemed to be bigger and looked uneven. i am still concerned about this and worried it's going to stay like this :/
same with me, I am very worried.
I had a rhino done 3 months ago and I still have a dorsal hump, I'm concerned, does anyone know will this go down?
Why do you guys keep lying to people that it's not painful. It is painful. You have to stay on top of your meds. I just got my nose done. I thought maybe I wouldn't need to take the meds because all I hear 'its not painful ' surgery is painful. Stay on top of your meds y'all
You are totally right, I saw lots of videos all of them saying not painful it’s very easy after a month I am ok but in the fact all of those are not true, I had surgery 12 days ago I regret now , first u spent lots of your time to research and find a doctor then try to prepare yourself for that since u book the appointment, you have stress, anxious not sleeping hundreds of questions come in your mind, and the day of your surgery after that you feel and know why I
did this shit thing with myself, one of the bad things is that, when the doctor tells you wait you can see the final result in 6 to 1 year or maybe more 🙄😟
I had a little droopy nose my breathing was ok and had narrowed nose just I didn’t like my sides profile because of that I made a big mistake, spent lots of money, time, pain, wait till one year to see the final result you are not sure u will get the result that you want or not
Sorry about my English is not good
If anyone reads my comment please first see the positive and negative of the surgery and think more than thousand is it a safe to do or not …
You are a sculptor of perfect noses. You ever do males nose transformations?
mitch lola absolutely! We perform a good number of male rhinoplasties actually. We are hoping to get a few more to share their results on social media!
There is a non surgical nose job that costs less, and fixes the sape. But it doesn’t last and it doesn’t shrink the overall size of the nose
I have thick skin and it’s been 5 month after my rhinoplasty. My nose tips is very pointy. Why is it?
i had cast off a week ago. entire nose looks very fat right now and where my bump was removed i can still see a slight bump there.. will that go away?
It certainly should go away! The toughest part of rhinoplasty is waiting for all of the swelling to diminish. It takes quite a bit of patience!
D. M. I have the same problem, how long did it take you to go away?
Very helpful video. I'm 20 days post op.im worry just about my smile.upper lip is still hard and around hump area bit still swelling . Only waiting for reducing swelling and hard lip.
How is the hump now ?
@@sihammachlouch8055 Hump and Tip still hard. One years is going now. I cant press my nose from front side
I’m so concerned I had dorsal graft built as my swelling going the graft is becoming more prominent I’m 8 . 5 weeks . It really obvious now hooe it flattens our but have feeling it will worsen as I have thick skin and will need a revisions
I got my third nose job done almost a year ago. My doctor told me I swelled up a lot on the operating table. It'll be a year next month, and the very tip of my nose is still rounded and swollen and fat. I'm so nervous that it will never ever go down. I've been getting steroid injections in my nose to break down the swelling but I'm just afraid it's going to look worse after.
In some cases, swelling can take even more than a year to completely dissipate, that isn't unusual; However, if it is something you're really concerned about you should talk to your surgeon.
I feel so much better!! Thank you!!!
Exactly what I needed.. Thank you so much! 🙏
I just took my cast off today! But the tip of my nose is perfect I don't want it to go down :((((
Obviously each case is a little different but it most likely will at least a little bit. Give it a few months before you examine it too closely : )
Nicole Diaz after 2 weeks of surgery my tip is perfect and the bridge straight I don’t want it down either, it is just swollen and I look odd!
@@HelmutEvrard how did it turn oout
i did nose job a month ago Swelling is going down well, But my nose tip is still fat and so hard I feel Like there is something they fix in my Nose tip Will you please tell me is this just a swollen or something they fix in it? Really sorry for my bad english Waiting for your earlier Response Thanks
Your experience sounds very normal. It can take quite a while for the tip to soften and for all of the swelling to subside. This is the most difficult part of the surgical process- patience is key!
Back to work or school in one week? I think not!
I’m post op 4 months and I have a bump that has re grown back on my right side of my bridge!!! It’s horrible!!! My bridge is sooo swollen looks awful.
Please schedule an in-person visit with the doctor who did your rhinoplasty.
Thank you it’s very helpful
I had my surgery 4 days ago and I just removed the bandage today. I still have the cast on so I can’t decide on the rest of it but I’m not at all happy with my tip. It looks very swollen and upturned, though you don’t see much of my nostrils from the front bc my surgeon has reduced them in size. They’re actually kind of too small for my taste now... I wonder if that’s due to the swelling as well. And also my left nostril is noticeably smaller than my right. My left side is overall more swollen so I’m hoping the asymmetrical nostrils will go away with time... and I hope the tip shrinks a bit as well! Loved the photos included. Really relieving. I hope mine ends up shrinking as much in a few months. Smaller tip, bigger more natural and even looking nostrils, that’s what I want right now!!
@Hana Louise Honestly all my problems resolved themselves over time as the swelling went down. My nostrils are now normal sized and symmetrical and the tip is also much smaller. It’s crazy how intensely swelling changes the shape of your nose
@@melika3519 This is great news!
@@melika3519 I'm so happy for you !
Hi..After cast remove does your nose also so small?🥲Cause mine so small and change alot..I saw u are saying you want bigger more natural please reply
The day I came home from surgery with a cast on my nostrils looked even after three or four days my nostrils look uneven. They still look uneven after the cast came off. Is this normal?
