Yes, rhinoplasty results are generally permanent, but it’s important to understand that the healing process can take time, and your nose may continue to evolve slightly over the years.
Once the surgery is complete, the bone, cartilage, and skin changes are intended to last a lifetime. However, it’s important to note that it can take up to a year for all swelling to subside fully and for the final shape of your nose to settle. During this time, you may notice subtle changes as your nose heals and adjusts.
Like any body part, your nose will still age naturally. Factors such as gravity, changes in skin elasticity, or even trauma can affect the nose over time, but these are generally subtle. In rare cases, some patients may require a revision rhinoplasty to address any unexpected changes or complications. Still, for most people, rhinoplasty results are long-lasting and provide the desired improvement in appearance or function.
During our consultation, we can discuss your specific goals and expectations to make sure you’re clear on what the procedure can achieve and how your nose may continue to change over time. My focus is to give you a result that looks natural and ages gracefully with you.
