I hate how I look. I was mostly hoping to improve my profile, but my whole face, even my eyes look weird. I'm feeling very insecure and I need some truthful opinions on if my fears are justified or not. Here are my concerns in short: Wanted bump removed from nose, minor tip reduction. nose looks shorter and turned up. Wanted bump on chin gone, but it's still THERE! Chin juts out and is squarer. Whole face looks longer and thinner. Coupled with a shorter nose, my facial proportions look off.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Recovery Hang in there! As long as the shape and swelling are improving week to week, however slowly, there is still hope for the final outcome. Ask you plastic surgeon if there would be any benefit to taping or a steroid injection that can help speed your recovery. It takes over a year to realize the final results of rhinoplasty. Think of it this way, one millimeter of swelling would not even be noticeable in a breast augmentation. One millimeter may be the whole difference between success and failure in a rhinoplasty. It will take well over a year before that last millimeter of swelling has gone away and right now there is even more swelling as it is still very early.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and chin surgery You are only a twelve days post-op you are likely still very swollen. Best to be patient and give it 6 months or longer for the swelling to subside.
