Hello doctors, I had my rhinoplasty surgery more than a year ago. ( 1 year and 3 mos post) and I have medium- thick skin. At first I thought it was swelling around my bridge and eyes/ brows area, and once it goes away my bridge will be more defined and my eyes will go back to normal, but that wasn't the cast because most of the swelling went down but my eyes still appears sleepy and the skin around them still lose like it's an epicanthic folds, is there any solution to fix this?
