Im 18 and my procedure was 6 weeks also. When i first had my cast taken off my nose was huge. It was so swollen for a couple of weeks. At 6 weeks its went down so much, probably shrunk half its size and now im worried because the bridge is looking really thin to me to be this soon and really dont want it it be much thinner. It is possible to heal faster then others i also heard 85-90% of the swelling is gone in the first 6 weeks. Help im freaking out over this im soo worried!!
