My nose looks like it starts at my forehead; ten days post-op. Is this normal? (Photo)

When the Surgeon performs osteotomies- that is breaking and repositioning the bones- there will be glabellar swelling. This is the area at the root of the nose between the eyebrows. It is the area referred to as the radix. If there was rasping of the dorsum- this will add to the swelling of this area. It should resolve overtime.

Thank you very much for enquire.It's too early to make value judgments with only ten days after a rhinoplasty.Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

That area is always hard to tape and splint as well as other areas so the swelling is usually proportionally greater there.  I would discuss it with your surgeon but I would think you will see it go away.
