Blood test may forecast nose job recovery

This study looked at 94 people who had nose surgery (rhinoplasty) to see if simple blood test results could predict how much swelling and bruising they would have after the operation. Researchers measured inflammation markers from a routine blood test taken before surgery and compared them to photos taken 1, 2, and 7 days after surgery. The goal was to find a way to identify patients at risk for more severe recovery, but the study only observed and measured—it did not test any new treatment.
