Asked By:bb2010777 in Louisville, KY

I'm 10 days post op and my tip is very swollen, bulbous, and has no definition at all. I had an open rhinoplasty, my nose my crooked was before and my surgeon used a temporalis fascia graft because my skin is thin. He's been great with answering my questions but I'm still worried that my tip will stay like this and I won't have any definition. Is it possible to be this swollen and bulbous but get definition in the tip when the swelling goes down?
