The pictures shows my nose after one month of diced cartilage rhinoplasty to elevate my bridge. My problem is at the top of my bridge there seems to be a drop in where the diced cartilage was placed. This has been about 1 MONTH. My tip is hard and still very swollen to the touch, but I am not sure if the top part of my bridge is still swollen or there was too much cartilage placed. I had this done abroad. Can I please get so expert opinions and advice since I am only at the one month stage.
