hi,please answer me im so worried,8 months ago i had nose job and Before the operation, my nose was slightly crooked and long And now the right side of the nose is completely sloping and beautiful, but the left side is raised and bumpy, especially when there is light behind me, this bump is very big. I wanted to know if this is swelling or not, is it a cartilage and is it permanent? And this is the final form of my nose? Thank you for your answer
