I had my Rhinoplasty almost two months ago, on july 4th it will be 2 months. My nose hasnt changed much at all since 1st month. looks worse then my old nose, shorter, flat bridge no definition, and flaring nostrils. My smile has changed my upper lip looks different and my eyes look sunken in. I had narrowing of bridge and refinning tip, & nostrils suppositely werent touched. Could that be swelling? Im very concerned that this surgery was a disaster. My next appt. is on monday July 2nd.
