I slept face down, 6 days after Rhinoplasty. I'm not entirely swollen and not in pain or anything. Would my results be affected?

Asked By:douglas_ in Miami, FL

I had my sides narrowed and a bridge augmentation done. The swelling is down a lot since about 4 days post op, I only feel slight pulsing under my splint. My surgeon said it would likely take a lot of force to accidentally move it at this point however. If it were the case that my bones were moved and are in an undesirable position from where they should be, can they be set back in place in office (generally speaking)?
