I just had a callus shaved (rasped) down from my plastic surgeon today. It's been over a year since my rhinoplasty and after I took the tape off I noticed a lot of swelling from the rasping of the Callus. How long will it take for the swelling to go down?

Over a year later I went to his office to get those callus that grew where the Spurs once were.
