I was told to expect fluctuation in swelling for at least 4 months,also the swelling can cause uneven nostrils,to treat each side of the nose as separate,as both sides will not heal at the same rate,and the swelling will subside at different times,the tip could be numb and uneven for a months too,as it seems that the swelling seems to stay there the longest from what I have read,I am expecting to wait a full year to see end result,xxx
