I'm 3 months post-op rhino. Most of the swelling in my nose has gone except for the tip/supratip which remains swollen. One side of my profile looks smooth, but the other (which had more work done to it) is more swollen and has a very slight "bump" at the supratip giving a faint appearance of a pollybeak, how do I know if this is just swelling or a pollybeak deformity forming?
