Is it normal to feel "regret" during swelling, or is that a sign something's wrong?

Asking for a friend who just had nose surgery and is spiralling at day 9 — says the tip looks huge and she hates it. Is this a known phase? What should she ask her clinic?

    Very common to have a rough emotional patch while swollen, it's practically a meme in the Korean community. That said: anything like increasing pain, redness, fever, or asymmetry that gets worse — she should contact the clinic, not wait.

    Sending her a hug. This is exactly what scares me.

    She should ask the clinic for a timeline of what swelling normally looks like at each stage, and book a check before she flies. Having it documented helps too if anything needs follow-up later.

      Thank you. Passed this on.
