I have a vertical dark shadow on one side of my nose 1.5 months post rhinoplasty. (photos)

Asked By:Meghanm12 in Dallas, TX

I had surgery a month and a half ago and had turbinate reduction, slightly deviated septum corrected, bulbous tip reduced, and my nose was slightly off center so I think they re-positioned it. Also I had my dorsal hump reduced. Now I have a vertical shadow on one side of my nose that also appears to be indenting in and I can feel the indention as well. Is it normal to have a dark shadow on one side of the nose and will it go away with time? It makes it look crooked.
