I had closed rhinoplasty about 6 months ago but the result is still uneven. In 3 times follow up after surgery, I have consulted with the doctor and he just simply said that I have thick skin and all the swollen will resolve in 1.5 to 2 years.

Got rhinoplasty to make the nose look smaller more feminine. I dont know if this information would help.
