Is it true areas where grafts are placed swell a lot? Is this bump swelling? (photo)

Asked By:xonicole101 in Wayne, NJ

I had a revision rhinoplasty in November but had to have another surgery to place grafts in my nose so I could breathe on February 17. Is it true that the area where the grafts are tend to swell a lot? You could see on the right side a bump (which i think is swelling?) Does that look like swelling to you? I hope its swelling and not permanent.
