My nose is still swollen 8 weeks after a rasping. Is this normal?

September 11, 2014
Asked By:Figii in London, ON

I had a very thin nose with a hump on it. The doctor pretty much rasped the hump down to a straight line and the sides and no tip work. My nose is straighter yes but it lacks definition and feels like a blob. When I look at old pictures my nose was so sharp, thin and straight from the front.. He says its still swollen but it was a rasping with no breaking and its been 8 weeks. I;m freaking out right now. Please help
