Asked By:GABRIELAOVVA in Monterrey, Nuevo León, México

I know noses get swollen and take up to 2 years to get to their final version but this is my second rhinoplasty (with the same doctor) and my nose looks 1) nothing like it did right after surgery 2) it has no definiton whatsoever anymore 3) it is starting to bend to a my right side 4) and i actually believe it's gotten bigger than how I had it before the surgery. I wanna know if this is normal swelling or if i'm having a bad reaction and getting scar tissue or bone callus.
