So there's this equation for the swelling of the nose after rhinoplasty.
>Forty patients were included, with 146 three-dimensional photographs quantified. The equation for the inverse function line of best fit of the six-point moving average was y = 1.484 (1/x) + 0.844 (R = 0.85, p < 0.01). According to this equation, approximately two-thirds of edema resolves within the first month, 95 percent after 6 months, and 97.5 percent after 1 year. A plateau is reached at 84.4 percent of the original postoperative volume.

I suck at math so can anyone tell me what this means and calculate how much of the swelling is gone after 2, 3, 4 and 5 months according to the equation?
Graph would be appreciated too.
