    1. hello. yes it goes away and it’s not dangerous, as the time pass the swelling and inflation decrease and it goes away little by little.if you have the same swelling and it doesn’t go away at all then you have to meet your doctor immidiatley.

    1. Hello, Yes the swelling and bruising will fade. everyday that pass, the spots will fading and your face skin go back to normal.

  1. Why do people look like zombies after a simple rhinoplasty? all that swell, where does it come from? should I too, be expecting my eyes to be like two purple tomatoes?

    1. Hello, nice metaphor 🙂 It is a fact that you should expect some degree of bruising around the nose and eyes immediately after the Rhinoplasty. Bruising and eye swelling after rhinoplasty occur when damaged blood vessels become trapped under the skin, causing a blue or purple bruise on the skin. After rhinoplasty, blood vessels become trapped along the orbital edge of the eye, creating a dark appearance. Other causes of bruising and eye swelling after rhinoplasty include the body’s natural response to surgery, which tries to send fluids to the interstitial space to compensate for lost fluids, causing swelling in this area. The type of surgery is another reason for swelling around the eyes, in open surgeries you can expect more swelling than in closed surgery, which is why you should not take choosing a surgeon lightly.

  2. Is it possible to reduce the swelling and puffiness in my nose? After a serious car accident, I had several reconstructive surgeries to repair my face, including surgery to repair my broken nose, but the swelling and puffiness just won’t go away. Three months have passed since the surgery.

    1. Hello and thank you for your question. Unfortunately, with that much trauma and required reconstruction, most patients will have significant swelling for many months…possibly even a year or more. I’m sorry to say this, but there is no proven or reliable way to reduce post-operative or post-traumatic swelling. In fact, patients can often make matters worse by attempting to hasten the process or by excessively manipulating the face. But there is a silver lining to all of this, and that is that time tends to solve these problems all on its own. Be patient and follow up with your surgeon(s) for proper advice and reassurance.

    1. Hi. Rhinoplasty does need certain care after it is done, but the matter of swollen eyes after rhinoplasty is different from case to case. Some doctors use their own special techniques to minimise the redness, bruises and swelling. The solid fact is you will undergo surgery and your body will heal itself after that swelling is a part of the healing process, with ice packs and inflammatory pills, it won’t last more than a week.
