Why is my Nose So Wide After Septorhinoplasty? Will This Change or is It Ruined Forever?

From your post I take it you are a week out of surgery because that is when most of us remove splints. If that is the case don't even think about worrying about how things look because swelling will not go down for a few months to a year.

We don't know what was done, and one week is too soon to tell. We hope your thin nose was part of the plan.
