I broke my nose about two weeks ago, & last week had to get my nasal passages reconstructed by having surgery. Although nothing cosmetic was done, I took the splint off yesterday with my Dr. and the bump on the bridge of my nose is way bigger than it used to be. I think it looks horrible. My doctor says it is swelling, but its there any way that it could be permanent from the surgery? I need to make sure I am not overreacting, as it has caused a lot more self-consciousness.
