Septorhinoplasty 8 weeks post op

Question

I am two months post op rhinoplasty. I had a septo rhinoplasty and my turbinals worked on. It was an open rhino that was performed. I have a slight swollen bump on one side of my bridge and still feel my bridge is fairly swollen. Some parts of my nose are very tender especially where the bump is and my tip also appears to have some swelling. And also will my dark circles and pigmentation around my eyes return to normal? Just want to know if this is all normal? Please help!

Thank you for your question. Your nose is very tender for a few months following surgery. You should be wary of doing any activities that may cause a rise in blood pressure or that may result in a bump to the nose as you can still experience changes. Please discuss with the board certified facial plastic surgeon who performed your surgery about reducing your swelling.
