Oct. of 2016 i had a septoplasty/rhinoplasty to correct my breathing, as well as the prominence and hump in my nose. 1 year later i still have a slight hump in my nose. My surgeon is going in and doing a minor surgery to shave down the bump. He said i wouldn’t require a cast or packing post-op. Will i have black eyes or excess swelling after? When will i be able to work/go out in public?
