When will the swelling go down from Rhinoplasty surgery?
I had a rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago. when the splint came of it looked lovely and thin but went alot wider in just two days. I also still have a bit of a hump on the bridge. is this just swelling and will it go down? I don't know if bones swell and if the hump will go? Please help! My nose hardly looks any different at the moment and i am really dissapointed. Will it continue to improve?

I have been writting about my post op hump on several forums.I have been upset and sad over my results. Today I went to my 1 month post op with my PS. I asked him whats the deal with the hump I paid you to remove, If its swelling why does it feel hard like bone? Well he did confirm that it's bone and he didn't rasp enough of the bone off. As mad as I've been about the hump, and I did give him a piece of my mind, I was glad he did not jerk me around and tell me it was swelling. Well he gave me a shot and it evened out. He is going to give me another in a month and one at 1 year. PS said that if in a year I was still not satisfied he will do a small closed procedure to rasp the rest of the bone. I am only one month post op so I do still have alot of swelling. Hey but the shot really worked and did not hurt at all.
