I had a septorhinoplasty done 5 weeks ago. My nose still looks wide and swollen. I also have a round bumps on the left and right side of my nose. Is the bump means it's just swollen in that area? 5 weeks after I still have stitches on the left side of the nostril, 1 of the stitch looks blue and the other one is the dissolvable stitch.
