the packing has been taken out and i was wondering if there would still be any swelling at the tip of my nose or if the tip is how it normally looks and just the bridge is swollen

Your surgeon should have already addressed this issue with you cuz they know how scary it can be to see the very thing you are looking at and they don't want you to go through this without knowing this is normal.
I have help do Rhinoplasty Surgery and if you knew EXACTLLY how this procedure was done,you would be as amazed as I am that the healing doesn't take as long as one would think but it does take some time.
There are alot of internal sutures that need to heal/absorb and this takes time. . . . don't give up.

You'll prolly have swelling for about 4-6 weeks. This is completely normal! Swelling is the body's way of protecting that which has just been harmed.
Don't worry. It'll return to its normal state pretty soon! Just follow doctor's orders and you'll do just fine!

your nose is probably still swollen. when they did my septoplasty (i know different procedure, but same area) i was told it may take a while for the swelling to go down. plus it has been less than 2 weeks. i hope you feel better soon.

Hang in there, the swelling takes several weeks to go down. You should be able to see your beautiful new nose then!

It's only been a week! Give it another month and see the difference! :)
