My Nose Looks Like It Starts on my Forehead - is This Just Swelling?

May 25, 2010
Asked By:LenRP in South Africa

I had rhinoplasty 11 days ago. Cast was removed yesterday. The area of my bridge between my eyes is raised - looks like my nose starts on my forehead! Is this a normal area of swelling? The area's reasonably fleshy. Is it swelling or could it be permanent scar tissue (I broke me nose 10yrs ago)
