A week post op and swelling has not subsided. I am completely swollen around nose and the swelling is really hard. It is very tight. I don't know if this will go away or if this is the actual implant placement. I am still sleeping upright hoping the swelling will go down. I am super worried this is the implant (bc its hard) and not just the swelling. Is it normal to have extremely hard cheeks a week afterwards? What can I do to make swelling and hardness go down?
