Is There Any Hope my Nose Will Look Smaller?

January 5, 2009
Asked By:mynewme in orange park florida

I am 4 1/2 months post Rhinoplasty. Not real happy with the outcome of my surgery, my nose is not at all like I had hoped. I see my surgeon again in February. Hearing advice from the surgeons on this site helps so much. I know that all say the true result will be in a year. Will I see my nose get smaller? I still have some tenderness and swollen membrane inside my nostrils. I am healing very well all in all. Is there any hope my nose with contour and look smaller? Thank you in advance!
