Is it normal not to be swollen two days after a rhinoplasty?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. My facial features, except for my nose, are quite beautiful, but my nose is very flat, which affects the overall appearance. Then, I got a nose job yesterday, but it's still not swollen even three days later. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, there is no recurrence of swelling. This phenomenon is also very normal. This situation proves that the surgery was very successful and there is no recurrence of abnormal inflammation or other infections. If there is a recurrence of obvious redness, swelling, and pain, it mainly indicates that there is a certain infection post-surgery, and additional anti-inflammatory medications may be needed for regulation. Currently, anti-inflammatory medications are not necessary.
