Asked By:Kgh in Chadwicks, NY

My main concern was a hump removal and making my nose a bit smaller. However it's been 8 weeks and the swelling is as bad as it was the day the cast was removed. I'm concerned about the lower half of my nose appearing larger and crooked! I also do know my surgeon performed an external osteotomy during surgery. In your expert opinions, is this still swelling?
