Six Days Post-Op QUESTIONS!!!

[Guest guest]

I had upper/lower to correct underbite, septoplasty, and turbinate

reduction on Wednesday Dec. 10.

I guess recovery is going OK, I just have a few concerns:

-1) My nose is crooked. Is this due to the swelling that still

remains? At my post-op with the surgeon yesterday he said I was

still pretty swollen.

-2) My teeth (upper and lower) do not line up with the center of my

lips. Coupled with the crooked nose, they really appear off-center

(I feel like a freak). Is this common? Am I overreacting by not

waiting until the swelling goes away?

-3) When will the bleeding stop? I think it is all nasal as I have

to " hack up " the blood to get rid of it from the back of my throat.

Thank you all for your experiences!
