I got rhinoplasty on February 8th. They are removing the splints tomorrow. My nose is still very swollen. Especially the tip of my nose. According to my doctor it’s absolutely normal and I’m not worried at all. When I woke up from surgery the first thing he told me was that the tip and the sides of my nose will be very swollen. And yes, just like everyone else I have a little piggy nose right now. Don’t worry, it will go down soon.
