I had a septorhinoplasty in the UK in July 2022 and my nasal bridge looks bigger than before. It looks fine sometimes and then swells up. I would have expected all swelling to have gone by now. I’ll book a post-op with the surgeon soon but can anyone advise? I spent a lot and did it in the UK with hopes of no complications. I’ve attached one before pic, two post surgery pics where one looks fine and another with a lot of swelling on a random day. These are recent pics
