Rhinoplasty and its effects on eyes?

I had rhinoplasty just over 2 months ago (9 weeks) and the swelling around my nose and eyes got pretty bad, but now Its been 2 months and a lot of it has gone down around my eyes and Ive started to notice that my eyes have started to look odd, I look cross eyed. This wasnt a problem before the rhinoplasty so I was wondering whether this was due to swelling or if something went wrong? Im really worried about this . Also if they are going cross eyes, can prism glasses amend this?

It is normal for your nasal bridge to be sore and tender, after all your nasal bones were broken on the dorsum more than likely along their base.  For this reason, avoid any glasses or even gentle pressure on your nose so as not to mobilize the bones as they heal.  These restrictions...

Asian rhinoplasty to increase nasal length as well as projection.  It is possible to do this along with narrowing your nostril base. Your goals are appropriate and you should see a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for the best results.
