A member asked:

I had septorhinoplasty almost 5 weeks ago today. i have a residual hump. dr. gave me exercises to do. how much of a role do they play in outcome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Massage and time: Many times following Rhinoplasty there is residual swelling which will resolve by massage and time. If not gone in 6-8 weeks have recheck.
