Asked By:Alsn35 in Turkey, TR

I had open surgery. There were so many problems in my nose so my surgery involved many job to do. After surgery, healing was so slow... i was like an alien for 6 weeks. Now(6 months later) my nose is still swollen and it’s annoying. Is that normal? I don’t know if i am thick skinned or not but there is something wrong with my nose. I tried to explain myself with my bad English. Thank you for your answer...
