I had my septorhinoplasty w/ turbinoplasty done on Tuesday, so it's only been 3 days recovery, but I'm worried about several things My sutures, they look weird and the skin is bulging around them, is this normal? Will it heal normally or lumpy? Also, I am still really badly congested, I can't taste anything and swallowing Is hard. The swelling & bruising around my face is going down (except for bulges in columella) but I still feel just as bad as I did when I came out of surgery.
