Since my rhinoplasty two months ago I am much more swollen on the left side of my nose than the righ

February 23, 2010 by Dr. Jeffrey Epstein

Question:

Since my rhinoplasty two months ago I am much more swollen on the left side of my nose than the right. How normal is this and should the swelling fade enough so the nose will look more symmetric? How long will this take?

Answer:

I would say at this point, two months post-op, that the swelling is not so much swelling as it is an asymmetry of the nasal bones of the bridge. You can still treat this area with steroid injections to see if it improves in case there is any scar tissue in the area and obviously if there is not much of an improvement then the only thing that can be done is some surgical correction whereby the fuller nasal bone area can be either re-set and/or rasped or filed down. The other option is to build up the opposite side with something like injections of Radiesse.

I am a very satisfied patient of Dr. Epstein. I underwent a primary rhinoplasty in the summer of 2013. I could not be happier with the results. I was wondering if there is a way I could see the before and after pictures that were taken by your…

Thankful, thankful, thankful for Dr. Epstein! His research and skill as a surgeon has enhanced many lives. I’ve been a patient of his for about two years. In 2015, I had an eyebrow transplant; this was the beginning of a beautiful story of…
