Nasal Bump - Nose Surgery Swelling

Nasal Bump Questions

Question:
People say that there is swelling after the surgery, so it doesn't look its best for a while. How long until it looks ideal?

Answer:
By 7 to 10 days, most patients feel comfortable being in the public eye. Usually, even at this early stage the nose looks good. However, as the swelling goes down, the "final result" takes place. A rule of thumb is that it can take up to a year for 80% of the swelling to resolve.
