I had a closed rhinoplasty done about 4 weeks ago. When the cast came off, it looked perfect. Now, the nose just seems as big as before. How long will it take for all the swelling to go down, if thats what it is?

You should probably discuss this with your doctor. You definitely don't want this to be an infection.

Swelling could take as long as six months to a year to finally resolve. never judge any plastic surgery for at least a year..... The body has to recover and it just simply takes time.
You could try cold packs to see if it makes any differences... Place water in a ziplock and add1/2 cup alcohol and 1/2 cup water. Put in freezer. It won't totally freeze but will be slushy to put on your nose. It could help with the swelling.

It can take as long as six months before all traces of swelling have disappeared.
