I Only Got a Little Work Done on my Nose Will It Take As Long to Heal?
My nose is pretty, just too long! I always see humps being removed, I got a bit of a dip, yes, but I never see pics of people getting long noses shortened. my doc said it was very easy, I just bled too much, (other than that) I didnt get massive owrk done, do I really need to wait an entire year? will it take that long? will my tip go back down? ( my nose seems as pointy if not pointier than before and pig like) how long until I dont look 'fake'? Im surewhen my splint is removed I'll look odd

Rhinoplasty result
I can't comment on your rhinoplasty without before and after photos. Certainly initially you will have alot of swelling at this point. Give it time to settle.
