Asked By:8493anon in London

I am 3 weeks post op and from the front near the top of my nose on either side it is very swollen. My surgeon has told me that they took a lot off while rasping my nose and the swelling is periosteal swelling. I there anything I could ask my doctor for that can help this to go down?
