Hi, I had Rhinoplasty 2weeks ago to help me breathe easier. I had a prominent hump on my nose and my nose deviated one centimetre to the right. I had my splint removed after 10 days and was shocked to see that my nose still had a hump which looked slightly smaller than the original one.
But having said that, the rest of my nose is still swollen. So I am still worried,as I think that when my swelling has gone,the hump will be even more noticeable. Or do you think the hump is just swelling as well? Please give me some reassurance. Thank you.
