How much is due to swelling? Rhinoplasty & genioplasty 12 days post op. Nose height too short, chin too long, eyes rounder

October 14, 2015
Asked By:joycake in Amelia Court House, VA

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.
