I cut my beak and put a little silicone between my forehead, but when I took off the splint, the beak remained the same and my forehead was like an avatar. They said that the big swelling went away in 3 weeks, but I tend to have a T-zone, so it feels like the silicone sticks out more..? Originally, I had a high nose, so I thought it was ruined after the surgery. Rather, the 1-2 weeks after the surgery are in the early stages, so even if the swelling is swollen, it will be swollen. It's gone and it hasn't completely gone out yet, but I felt that this was real swelling.
