Hello! After a revision rhinoplasty my nose looks very swollen on one side. It's so bad it casts a shadow & makes my nose look very curved. People are commenting on it and I'm so embarrassed. At the top of my nose, you can see there's a lump on the right side. When I press on it, it feels really hard- like bone, and the shape feels like a ridge, going out too far and then suddenly going back in, causing the shadow (I drew what it feels like). It's been 1.5 months. What is this? Will it go away?
