Swelling of the lower face 6 months after rhinoplasty
December 17, 2023
Asked By:Vin3456 in New York, New York, Stati Uniti
I had rhinoplasty 6 months ago and now my swelling is finally going down. At the same time my lower face got swollen. I know that the nose can take a year to fully heal. How long does the face swelling (caused by the surgery) take to fully heal? A year too?
