Small Lines or Gaps After Rhinoplasty

February 22, 2009
Asked By:lined nose in London, UK

I am 5 weeks post Rhinoplasty and have two dark lines next to either side of the bridge of my nose. It looks like I have been wearing glasses when I have not. The two lines are going down from the top part of nose and are very visible. When I feel along the lines, they feel like there is a gap of a few milimetres. I am scared the gaps will stay and leave dark lines permanently.
