The Secrets of Swelling Reduction After Rhinoplasty | Anthony Bared, MD, FACS Miami, FL 

I did my rhinoplasty on 22nd March 2024 and a month is over. I too have thick skin. When my cast was off it was very fat. Over a month swelling healed and surgeon said after a month i am only seeing 10% of my results due to thick skin and swelling. He said it will improve over the course of time but i already feel quite confident after a month, 6 months transition would be great to see. For everyone relax if the surgeon did a great job it will be visible as time passes.

This video makes me calm and not worry about anything anymore

A short but very useful video, thank you! It’s very difficult to find information and real life examples of the post surgical progression of thick skinned patients 1-6 months post op

This helped a lot. Short and precise, thank you !

Extremely helpful for us going through this

Great video doc!

Thank you for sharing this video Doctor, I had a nose job 5 weeks ago and I was told I have very thick skin, my concern is to see how bulky the tip of nose looks. I understand better now, thank you for showing images 6 months post-op

Thanks for this video .

Hey doctor I would like to know when do you recommend to have a cortison shot after surgery? Due to my thick skin I have the same issue as the lady in the video…. When did she got her cortison shot ?

Doctor, good morning. I’m trying to contact you since July 17th. I want to see if you can apply the shot on my nose. I have thick skin.

This helped a lot! I’m only 1 week out but I can’t find much about the 1-6 months changes

Dr Anthony is Fine.

This is reassuring

How long after did she get the steroid injection? Im 4 months post op of a tip rhinoplasty and just got steroid injections today. Her nose looks great being 6 months post.

Oh thanks god its not gonna stay like that, i was just wondering if the operation was worth it or not and now im quite contented with the results. just gotta wait another 1 month

Hi, I had a rhinoplasty 7 heats ago and It left me with a scar tissue. Is it still posible to get steroïd-injection to solve the problem?

How Many shot do you recommended .

Hello I got my septorhinoplasty done June01/2022 so it's been a little over 6mths I have thick skin my procedure was done by my Ent doc in Evans Ga I was definitely scared bc most ppl of color have been going overseas bc they have more experience in ethnic procedures but I was scared to leave Usa bc if I gotten sick I could have family to take care of me I received those shots on 2 visits I would like more bc it takes forever to see results I asked him for the shape of Felicia Rashod nose which is similar to my moms nose I don't think I'm going to get what I asked for the first 2mths I looked like I got a azz job on my nose it was massive He broke my nose took cartlidge out of my ear and put it in my nose to help built it up I had a deviated septum However my nose does look better and I breathe better But the shape of your nose is going to look like your orginal nose for a while but I see the definition in the middle of my nose He didn't reduce my nostrils size which that pissed me off bc I have real physical jobs and I don't have time to take off He said I could come bk and get that done I didn't want to have to come bk when I paid for the whole procedure to get done at once It's true about the mental part it's going to be times when your not going to like how your nose looks but afterwhile when recommended by your doc I wear shades on those days I feel ugly Everybody take care and be safe 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛😘😘😘😘

it’s day 3 after my cast removal my nose is tapped but it feels very stiff like it’s a stone and feels like it’s not on my face how long does it take and do i have to still sleep elevated??? can i wear makeup??

Does swelling ever happen more on one side of the septum? Mine still looks deviated on one side, sorta crooked. But I can't tell if it's swelling or whether it needs a correction.

A great surgeon i see . Thumbs up

Can you have these injections severap years after rhino?

I’m recently healing from rhinoplasty right now and I want to cry because it looks like the same thick bulbous tip nose…. I guess I have to wait 6 months to actually see where a lot of this money got me :/

great video, hope the swelling will subside as much on mine as well ahah

Great video, is cortisone injection always recommended for thicker skin or will swelling eventually resolve on its own with time? I'll appreciate your feedback

Great video thank you .. My surgery was 11 days ago I don’t like the results, hopefully when the swelling goes down i will . This video gave me hope

Why is thicker skin so difficult I had mine done 2 weeks ago and my nose tip is sooo high and swollen . I know i still have a lot of swelling but my biggest concern is how much will go down 😪

I’m 3 months post op but my nose looks bulbous and to short , I never had a bulbous short nose from the beginning :( . My original nose was longer and so much thinner , I just wanted to correct the hump and slightly reduce my droopy tip . I don’t know if theirs is any hope that my nose will be thinner and less bulbous . Also, my nostrils look so visible as well ( they don’t face the floor )

I was told not to tape and hope thats right. I have thick skin

Should all patients with thick skin get steroid shots?

Doctor, i need your help. I called Andrea your assistant. I got my rhinoplasty 3 month ago I need the injections

Sound poor quality

Big difference

She's cute

Anyone watching this experiencing the same unsatisfied look 1 to 3 months post op ? I’m at about 40 days post operation on my nose. Noticed that right after removing the cast it looks much more smaller and prominent vs now hitting this post one month mark the tip look bigger and bridge looks wider 🥲
