How long does the tip of your nose stay hard after rhinoplasty?

I had a rhinoplasty done 5 months ago. The tip of my nose is still hard.

Up to 2 years
Hello, the firmness should have resolved by now. Most swelling resolves after 6 months. For further information, you can visit my website, at Drroya.com.
One of the first things you learn in plastic surgery training is that it takes a full year to see the final results of a rhinoplasty. It’s not unusual for the tip to still feel hard at 5 months due to persistent numbness and swelling.
Usually up to a year or longer. It also depends on the procedure if open or closed rhinoplasty and what was done to the tip
6 months to 1 year
