Didn't swell or bruise after surgery. Am I likely to heal faster? (photos)

Asked By:NYR2016 in Dallas, TX

I had rhinoplasty on March 2nd. I didn't swell at all or get any noticeable bruising in my face after surgery. The experience was pretty easy. When my cast was taken off I immediately loved my nose. My tips is really swollen and piggy but the bridge doesn't seem to be. I had my bridge/nostrils narrowed and collumellar strut graft. Is it possible for some patients to have very little swelling in the bridge after rhinoplasty? I'm hoping the bridge won't go down too much more.
