Is it normal for the nasal radix to remain swollen? Looks as if there is no separation from forehead and nose.

Asked By:BarbaraDelling10298 in Del Norte, CO

I had rhinoplasty done about 3 weeks ago. I know it's too soon, but the root of my nose looks as if it is coming straight down from my forehead. How long does the radix usually stay swollen? And how can I tell if it swollen or the way the doctor shaped my nose? I missed two weeks of work and I'm embarrassed to go back like this.
