My experience was that the bridge swelling slowly faded over time. The first month was the most noticeable stage. By about 3–4 months my nose looked completely natural and the final shape was clear.
I had nose bridge surgery last year and the swelling definitely took some time to settle. The first couple of weeks were the most noticeable, especially around the bridge area. After about a month it looked much better, but I didn’t really see the final shape until around 3 months.
When I had my surgery, the bridge swelling was pretty obvious for the first two weeks. After that it gradually went down week by week. I’d say it took about 2–3 months before my nose looked completely natural.
My sister had her nose bridge surgery in Korea. Swelling was noticeable the first week, but by three months, her nose looked natural and perfectly defined. She highly recommends Arumline Plastic Surgery and Dr. Lee Joong-geun.
