2 weeks post revision septorhinoplasty...my nose seems to be getting bigger rather than smaller?

Asked By:10yearsinthemaking in Chicago, IL

I had revision septorhinoplasty 2 weeks ago with tip and nostril reconstruction (using grafts). I didn't have a splint after surgery, only tape, which was loose and barely hanging on when I got it off 10 days post op. At first I loved my profile, but as the week has gone on, my profile has seemed to get worse, almost like my bridge got higher or something. Any ideas why this might be? Is it because my tip dropped? It's bumming me out!
