Rhinoplasty timing

Wendy,

Having a rhinoplasty in June for a September wedding would be fine.  Depending on what all needs to be performed you could have most of the  swelling resolved in only 6 weeks if you need more extensive work done for the nasal tip, swelling can prevent the nose from looking its best for up to 3 months, but that should still be long enough.  All of the swelling will not be resolved for up to a year, however 80% or so resolves in the first 3 months which is plenty for the nose to look great in that time frame.

  1. Hello,

    I am interested in nose shaping. I have a small bump in the middle of my nose, but I am not ready for surgery. Do you ever use facial filler on the nose? If so, is there a perminant filler used on the nose?
