I had surgery on Monday the 9th. I had correction of an upturned nose using septal cartilage, and it was done with an open approach. They shaved the nasal bone very slightly. The photo was taken yesterday, Saturday, and the stitches inside my nose are still in place. Maybe because of that, breathing still feels stuffy Only the external stitches were removed, but the swelling is no joke When I had the splint on my nose, I still didn't dislike the shape, but after removing the splint and looking from the front, wow, I look like a complete monster I really feel like I have become an 'Avatar' Could this be inflammation? I do not smoke at all, and I almost never drink either There is swelling, and it hurts when I press it That's how it is. I really would rather go back to my nose before surgery.. Is the swelling worse because I did my eyes at the same time too.. And can swelling also occur around the mouth? I am currently undergoing orthodontic treatment, and the inside of my mouth keeps getting scratched by the orthodontic appliance It wasn't like that until right before surgery.. Please give me a detailed answer
