I had revision septorhinoplasty 12 days ago, with work done to fix my nostrils, tip & columella. My left nostril has been completely swollen shut since about an hour after the surgery with very little resolution so far. My nose is also looking intensely bulbous and huge and wide. I had my post op and my doctor did not seem overly concerned, but I have been having incredibly bad anxiety attacks about it, which are affecting my daily life/work. Is it normal to still have swelling to this degree?
