Asked By:JadieMarie in England

Hi I had my rhinoplasty done 18 days ago I knew there would be swelling but my cheeks and top lip are still heavily swollen aswell as my forehead along with minor headaches every now and then. I’ve been to my GP and he’s put me on prednisolone for the last 3 days and nothing has changed! Is this normal? I can barely move my top lip and I’m pretty scared. My skin has also heavily broken out into what seems to be the worst acne I’ve had. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you
