Asked By:Naad991 in Michigan, ND

Iam 1 month post op and i think all my swelling is gone ( i hope so because i dont want my nose to get smaller than this ) and now i can see a line of my left. nose (i had closed rhinoplasty mainly for my bulbous tip), is this going to go away? It makes my nose look unnatural , as you can see the dark line, when i touch it It feels depressed, going down as if it is a cartilage or something, on the other side everything is normal, i know i have to wait months, but is it something that goes away?
