Asked By:ZaraZD in Fork Union, VA

2 days after removing the cast off my nose i have seen a small difference in the nostrils,i think they have gotten a bit droopy and bigger than they were the day i removed the cast/bandage . i am worried that it might be because of laughing the last 2 days.i had my bump removed ,the tip and the columella reshaped .the nose base and columella hurt when i laugh.is it possible that i have ruined my rhinoplasty results ?!
