Cast just removed and nose/ bridge off center? Tip and bridge pointing/ leaning to the left? (photos)

January 6, 2016
Asked By:Alex Meraz in Augusta, GA

Surgery six days ago and cast removed yesterday. Nose is off center...it sits more/ leans on the left side. The tip also points to the left. Could swelling really be a factor in the nose being overall off center?? I understand I need patience but need reassurance my issue is swelling and not a bad cast placement or bones not healing straight, or whatever else.
