Hollow under eye after rhinoplasty
Typically after rhinoplasty surgery, there will be bruising and soft tissue swelling around the eye area. This will gradually disappate, but will not be completely gone at one month.

Under Eye Appearance after Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty that involves osteotomy or bone reshaping is more likely to contribute to under eye swelling. This eye or cheek swelling typically resolves within a few weeks, but possible longer.

The hollowness you may be experiencing one month after surgery may be related to swelling in the other areas. Give it time, it may get better.
