It is not uncommon for the nose to appear larger immediately following rhinoplasty surgery. This is often due to post-operative swelling, which can distort the shape and size of the nose and make it appear larger than it actually is.
During rhinoplasty surgery, the nasal tissues and bones are often manipulated and repositioned in order to achieve the desired aesthetic result. This can cause trauma to the nasal tissues and trigger a natural inflammatory response, which can result in swelling and fluid retention in the nose and surrounding tissues.
Post-operative swelling typically peaks within the first few days after surgery and gradually subsides over the course of several weeks or months, depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual's healing process. As the swelling resolves, the true size and shape of the nose should become more apparent and the nose should gradually assume its final appearance.
If you are concerned about the size or appearance of your nose after rhinoplasty surgery, it is important to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. They can evaluate your healing progress and provide guidance on what to expect during your recovery. By following your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully and staying in close communication with them, you can help ensure a successful outcome from your rhinoplasty surgery.
