Nose Job & Thin Face
I had a nose job 4 months ago but the tip is really big till now and the nose bridge feels like zigzag. It's not straight and a hump started to grow again from the right side. Should I redo it again now?

Early after a nose job...
The swelling you're seeing will go down. It's tough to know how much it was reduced without seeing your photos prior to.

When to redo nose surgery.
You will have to wait at least 9-12 months to redo nose surgery if one is needed. This is because, it takes that long for the swelling to go down. At that point you can make a better judgement about the result. Sometimes, you can tell you need revision surgery at soon as one month after surgery but you still have to wait until the healing is complete in order to reduce complications.
