“The outline of the implant in my nose is very visible--will this ever diminish/go away without a second procedure?”

Cost: $6,200
Pain: Uncomfortable
Review of Rhinoplasty:Pain: Uncomfortable
Rhinoplasty satisfaction: Good
I do not recommend my Rhinoplasty provider: Name not provided
Why: this kind of relates to my question! :)
My rhinoplasty was a quick procedure to build up the bridge of my nose, as I was unhappy with how flat my nose looked. I was also hoping to lessen the appearance of my epicanthal folds and hopefully be able to wear glasses without having them rest on my face!
It was pretty uncomfortable, but completely painless.

Building the nasal bridge is a common rhinoplasty request. Two weeks is still very early after surgery. Most swelling resolves in a few weeks, but the final 20% of swelling takes a year or longer to recover. Photographs alone do not replace an in-office examination. Your rhinoplasty surgeon will help guide you through the healing process to get the best results. Give it time.
