I broke my nose and had the septum re-aligned and the bone "popped" back into place. I went back for my checkup 10 days after and the doctor seemed surprised at the amount of swelling. The swelling went down a little each day for 4-5 days after that visit but when I wokeup this morning it seemed as swollen as ever. Are these fluctuations in swelling normal?

Answer: Swelling after nose surgeryif The swelling you describe is normal, but it would worry me that you may have an infection with the sudden swelling after 4 days. I would have your physician look up your nose to make sure that all is well. Fluctuations in swelling are common but one should not assume that its all OK unless you are examined.
