Q: I had a rhinoplasty 15 days ago. When the gyps was removed the root of nose was too high like it started from my forehead and looks horrible. Doctor had stitches there also that he removed (I don’t know why stitches were there). When I touch there I feel mostly bone with small breaks. Is this temporary swelling or a bad job?
A: 2 weeks after rhinoplasty your entire nose will still be swollen, including the bridge of your nose. It is too early to judge what the final appearance of your bridge will be. When dorsal augmentation is performed sometimes sutures are placed percutaneously (through the skin) to hold the dorsal graft in place.
You will have a better idea of the true height of your bridge in 3-6 months, though full healing may take up to 1-2 years.
