Nose does swell after cast is removed after Rhinoplasty

Don't be depressed.  Swelling is normal after the cast is removed.  Be patient as the swelling will take 6-9 months to fully resolve.  Ask your Rhinoplasty surgeon if he/she has any suggestions like ice or nasal massage to speed things along.
