Wide nose rhinoplasty, could it take 7/8 months for swelling to go down? (Photo)

Since you appear to have relatively thick nasal skin, along with a cephalic trim, a tip graft may be considered for achieving narrowing and definition. I don't believe it would take 7 to 8 months to start to see nasal tip narrowing, in our experience. If in doubt, get a second opinion. Thank you for this question and I wish you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question after the rhinoplasty, swelling will subside within 1 to 1.5 years depending on skin type. It may take 1 to 1.5 years for the nose to fully settle into its final shape. In thicker skin types, this period can extend to 2 years.
Best Regards!

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. Usually you will get 80% of the final result by 3 months after surgery and it will continue to improve up to 1 year.

Swelling after rhinoplasty, especially in the tip, can take some time to fully settle—this is even more true if you have thicker skin, which can extend the healing process. It typically takes about 1 to 1.5 years to see the final result, but you should notice a significant improvement soon after surgery.

Rhinoplasty is a highly specialized procedure, so it’s important to feel confident in your surgeon. If you’re not 100% sure, it’s perfectly okay to consult one or two other surgeons who specialize in nose surgery to ensure you’re in the best hands.

It can take a great deal of time for the swelling to go down, maybe about 6 months, but perhaps as long as a year so this is a reasonable estimate.

Best Wishes,
