Asked By:ssomeone in Westlake, OH

This is post op day 7. Should I be concerned about the way it is healing? My dr said to wait it out and that it would even out w the other nostril but I'm not sure and worrying a lot. It gets worse when I smile. Any preventative measures I can start taking or any future treatments if it doesn't heal well?
