I am 23 and never really liked my nose. From the front I like it, but not profile. I went to 3 plastic surgeons. One refused me, saying the surgery wasn't worth the small changes. The other two said they would do it, but again reminded me the changes would be small and no one would notice. One of the surgeons showed me a computerized version of what I'd look like after. I honestly can't even see much of a difference. So then, is rhinoplasty worth it if I can't even notice a huge difference?

Hello, because you are still so
early in your recovery I would not be at all concerned. The final results of a
rhinoplasty can take up to a year to emerge. If you would like a more detailed
timeline of your recovery or have any additional concerns I would talk to your
plastic surgeon. Best regards.
Not really sure what you are describing. If you had a rhinoplasty done recently, I would stop touching your nose. Give it time. If at three months it still feels funny, talk to your rhinoplasty surgeon about it. Dr. G
As others have commented when the hump is removed you may need an osteotomy to prevent it from looking to wide in the front view. Don't think of it as"breaking the nose", that's what happens in accidents or fights. What's done in surgery is a precision alteration and should only be thought...
