So after one week of removing my cast I loved the way my nose looked. It looked natural. Now it's been about 3 weeks and I'm not liking the shape of my nose. I have pictures of my nose one week after the cast and pictures 3 weeks after. I'm not too happy with my 3 week post op. Will my nose go back to that shape I had one week after cast removal? Now it just seems that the tip is too high. I've been so upset recently
