I got ryhnoplasty done 2 weeks ago & my eyes look so different, they look hollow & smaller, I have not left my house & I'm so depressed. Also in between my eyes it's so thick & wide, I look like I have a boxers nose. I called the doctor & they said it's just swelling & it will go down, this was my 2nd nose job as the first one was not good. Please can someone tell me if this is permanent? It does not look like me at all, I have not stopped crying & hate looking at myself it the mirror, please help
