I'm on 11th day post-op,revision rhinoplasty.I've noticed upon removal of the cast that I have swollen all the area from eye to eye, and my eyes now look different than preop!.Also the nostrils are unevel(left one is higher than right one) The swollen area between the eyes is very hard to the touch,like a bone. Is this just swelling and will disappear,or something happened to the nasal bone between my eyes?Do you think my nose looks a bit crooked? Thanks a lot! P.D.My surgeon lives in Brazil
