Hi, I had my septorhinoplasty done 10 weeks ago, I had no tip work done but a hump removed and my nose was deprojected a bit. However my the mid portion of my nose around the middle vault area and the tip appear HUGEE and wide, also thats making my nostrils look more flared out when I smile and I absolutely dont like the results so far. I have oily skin and I heard that can slow down the healing. Do you think my oily skin is a factor in my swelling or are this just the result of my surgery?
