i had primary rhinoplasty 9 months ago.

the pros: made nose smaller, straight , easy recovery , not painful

the cons: expensive, might have undesired results,

I had primary rhinoplasty 9 months ago. I am middle eastern and I had a pretty big nose, bulbous tip. I am now happy with my profile (i like a bit of a bone), but I feel like the tip is still significantly big and round compared to the bridge (and a little pinched, but thats not my point here). It Could it be rhinoplasty swelling at 9 months? the transition from the bridge to the tip is not smooth. What could it be? final result? plz see pic.

I had an open rhinoplasty done 8 months ago. one side of my profile looks a little different from the other -- the tip seems bigger on one side. Could it be swelling at one side at 8 months?
Great review?

U look awesome! beautiful, dont be worried. swelling might go down, but your tip looks very natural, you could never tell you had it done.

you look great, apparently it can take up to a year for the swelling to go down (and the tip takes the longest), so be patient:)

You look beautiful, please don't get another surgery or you might regret it. You should really be happy with your results, you look like Jennifer Lopez!

I've heard of rhinoplasty swelling lasting 12-18 months, so you're still well within that range. Do you have any recent photos of your nose?
