Have you ever seen swelling this bad 8 days post-op?

RealSelf actual patient comment:

before and after

“I had septorhinoplasty (closed) with work done to my tip. I’ve never seen a photo like this…. all of the cast removal day photos of noses look so nice and mine just looks completely deformed. I had surgery exactly one week ago. I am so depressed.”

A. Sorry to hear about your post-rhinoplasty swelling. You should have your rhinoplasty surgeon examine your nose to make sure that all of the “packing” has been removed and that you do not have an early infection. I personally have not seen your amount of swelling one week post rhinoplasty.
