Hi, I had both septoplasty and rhinoplasty done 15 days ago. There is a raised bump between my eyes. I know that I have to be patient but does it look like swelling of the radix (my surgeon didn't put a graft here) and how long will this take to go down? He did use spreader grafts, can I expect my nose to get narrower as swelling subsides? It's still very chunky. Thank you.
