Asked By:haroudojo in Austria, AT

I had a rhinoplasty a 8-9days ago. Yellowspottings has already gone from my face. My nose was hooked from profile but it was ok from front(the nose was thin). Now my nose looks great from profile but it looks much wider,fatter from front its awful.I dont really see the nose's bone it looks puffy. My question is that wheter its possible my nose looks wider because the hooked part has been removed or its just swelling and it will gone with time. In case its just swelling please let me know about what time will it turn back to thin again.
