My Nose Looks Wider after Rhinoplasty
Hi Dima,
From your description, it appears that you have some residual swelling. Even though it may be difficult, your would be best served to wait for at least 9-12 months as the swelling will continue to reduce.
Usually the bones are brought together during most rhinoplasty procedures.
Hope this was helpful.

Probably Swelling
This most likely represents edema. Please give the nose time to heal and the swelling to resolve then judgements can be passed on the outcome.

Wider Nose after Rhinoplasty
It is unlikely the nasal bones are actually wider after surgery. At 3 weeks I would expect normal temporary swelling. Be patient.

Wide nasal bones after nose job
IT is unlikely that the bones are wider but simply appear so due to swelling. In most rhinoplasty procedures the nasal bones are brought closer together.
