Normal to Have Swollen Septum After Rhinoplasty?

Asked By:browneyes19 in Florida

I had Rhinoplasty a month ago, and my septum is still obviously swollen. I can really see it when I look into my nose. I was wondering, is this is normal or common, and what I can do about it? Could it affect the healing process and obstruct my tip and nostrils from settling?
