Title: Nose.
Post by: emma.alexis on February 28, 2011, 10:29:43 PM
Hey gang,

I'm seven weeks post-op now from ffs and was wondering how long it takes nose swelling - the bridge area in particular - to subside completely.  It looks great straight on, not so bad in profile but still looks rather swollen from 3/4. 

My surgeon was the lovely Dr. O.

Thanks!

Alexis

Don't worry and be patient. You were probably already told by the Doctor that the nose takes almost a year to fully heal.

Anywhere from six-eighteen months. At just under three months out, I still have some visible swelling in the nose, and it doesn't go away quickly.
