Well, if you have thick skin that might be an issue. Have you changed your diet recently? Started any new meds? Under more stress? Exercising more or differently? Think about the things in the last few months that may have caused this. In any case, if you are dissatisfied with the results, get a second opinion from another certified FACIAL plastic surgeon, notice how I said FACIAL. Also, choose a more experienced doctor who may have dealt with your type of issue before. It's always worth a shot!!

I have the exact same problem. I had an open septorhinoplasty a month ago (May 19) and there is still a lot of swelling, but if you research, and if your doctor was smart enough he would have told you that it will take ATLEAST 5 months before you notice a great improvement. Think about what they did to the noses? The amount of trauma involved? The fact of the matter is, there isn't a lot of blood vessels in that area to promote the swelling to resolve. It takes time, I too am very anxious, but this is one of those things that we just have to wade out my friend.
Honey, its been 14 days...you're nose hasn't even BEGUN to heal yet!!! Up to a year my dear, up to a year....you still have 342 days to go...give it time, the swelling will not go down for quite some time, I got my nose done a month ago (same surgery) and there is still an incredible amount of swelling, and I am starting to feel irregularities in my nose. They TOO will resolve in time!!! So be patient!!!
