Thick Skin Causing Swelling 6 Months After Septo-rhinoplasty?

June 7, 2010
Asked By:SillyAmelie in Buffalo, NY

Should I still be swollen (unevenly) after Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty 6.5mo post-op just because I have thick skin? Swelling went down on my R side quickly, but not my L. Nostrils also uneven in shape?
