Hi! I am 2 mons rhinoplasty post op. My nose before was fine and thinner. But 2 days ago it started to become red and swell. My suspects are 1) because I massage it very hard that's why it started to swell. 2) because of the kojic soap I use and exposed it to sun. 3) Or the make up brushes I use?? Infected?? If it is, I dont feel anything. My doctor is really hard to reach because of busy scheds. We will meet in 3 days. He asked me to take antibiotics for 7 days. Please I need an honest answer.
