Hi there, I am a 22 year old female. I had my rhinoplasty august of 2022. My process for rhinoplasty was good at the start, 6 months after my rhinoplasty I had little to no swelling and my nose looked amazing. I have fairly thick skin prior to my rhinoplasty. at 14 months post op i got hit in the face with a soccer ball. my nose has been swelling since then some days more than others.
